Hello. Yeah, I used to get that message a lot, but everything was still working, so I just ignored it. It started when I had the directory on my D: drive, rather than the C: drive, so I'm guessing there's something somewhere still pointing to the wrong place (but I never found it - I already had my environment variable set to the right location). I haven't seen it lately, but I'm a bit behind on doing updates also, so it may reappear again next time I update.

The Android SDK Manager is maintained by the Visual Studio team and can't be addressed in this repo. If you file your issue with Visual Studio, they can help figure out what went wrong here.
