not able to upgrade to 2.8.0

[koneru9999]

i'm trying to upgrade my current STS 2.7.1 installation to 2.8.0 and it throws an error as below.

cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.
  Software being installed: SpringSource Tool Suite 2.8.0.201110171000-RELEASE (com.springsource.sts.ide 2.8.0.201110171000-RELEASE)
  Software currently installed: Shared profile 1.0.0.1310711647973 (SharedProfile_com.springsource.sts.ide 1.0.0.1310711647973)

Your STS is installed in a read-only location. You need to either move it or give the current user write privileges in order to perform the update. If you are on windows and have installed into C:\Program Files, then you must move your install. You shouldn't need to delete, just a move should work.
