无法在Android Studio中安装Android NDK（NDK捆绑软件）：MKDIR失败

Question

I am setting up Android development environment on my Windows 7 running machine. I installed Android studio 3.3 and other required packages.

while trying to install Android NDK I get following error:

I downloaded NDK bundle from the above highlighted link and tried to extract the .zip file manually but it also gives error as:

! C:\\Users[UserName]\\Downloads\\android-ndk-r18-windows-x86_64.zip: Cannot create folder C:\\Users[UserName]\\Downloads\\android-ndk-r18\\sources\\cxx-stl\\llvm-libc++\\test\\std\\input.output\\stream.buffers\\streambuf\\streambuf.protected

Access is denied.

! C:\\Users[UserName]\\Downloads\\android-ndk-r18-windows-x86_64.zip: Cannot create folder C:\\Users[UserName]\\Downloads\\android-ndk-r18\\sources\\cxx-stl\\llvm-libc++\\test\\std\\input.output\\stream.buffers\\streambuf\\streambuf.protected\\streambuf.put.area

The system cannot find the path specified. . . . . . .

I have the Admin rights on the machine and I also tried to manually make a folder named 'streambuf.protected' in the directory and it gives me error as 'Access Denied' but I can make a folder with any other name.

What can be the cause of this and how can I install the Android NDK successfully ?

Thanks in advance. :)

After doing some research I found out that my Oraganization is using McAfee VirusScan Enterprise. The Access Protection task has User-Defined rule as Cryptolocker - Extension protected which blocks from creating this folder.
