I also have this problem. I'm on Win7 x64 SP1. I hope there is an easy fix.

You guys should post such issue in the libgdx site, not on libgdx-users.
The tool tries to create a files and folders in the directory it is located. If 
this directory is protected against write operation, such process will fail. It 
can be the case if you put the tool in "C:\" or "C:\Program Files". Just put it 
on the desktop and see if that solves the issue.

Same thing happened to me...

In other words... Don't open the gdx-setup-ui  from the zip file.  Extract that 
file into a folder, run it, then import the master zip that you downloaded. 
That should fix it.

On Windows 7 64bits you try to create a folder on 
"C:\Windows\SysWOW64\__libgdx_setup_tmp"

One working around,

You can create a folder C:\Windows\SysWOW64\__libgdx_setup_tmp, for "window 7 
64bits" and put that /user can delete write etc.... 
It will work and in the end will be delete the folder. that mean you have to 
create a folder every time you want to use this.

This _might_ be late, but the solution is really simple.
Just place the gdx-setup-ui jar File anywhere(example: Desktop), open cmd (on 
windows) and type 
"java -jar C:\Users\<username>\<folder ex:Desktop>\gdx-setup-ui.jar" and now it 
will work.
Cheers, numpad

7 64 bits

I've just discovered LibGDX and found the issue : download the Zip file from 
the web site and copy it to "c:\libgdx". Every thing should works fine instead 
of updating LibGDX from the UI ;)

Amazing... Just found the solution...

The main thing is -> you are not running the 'gdx-setup-ui.jar' with 
administrator privileges...

* Thus you MUST run this as 'Administrator'...

(Optional solution)
-> Run the 'gdx-setup-ui.jar' & open 'Task Manager'
-> in 'Processes' tab, look for 'javaw.exe'
-> right click - 'Properties' - 'Compatebility' tab
-> tick 'Run his program as an administrator'
-> 'OK' - 'OK'
Good to go now... You can configure now...

For me, too, running the JAR from the command prompt solved the problem.
