    I looked in the original sdk zip file and did not see the tools folder there: here is what I see in the sdk zip file.

    I get an error: The system cannot find the path specified when I typed in cd c:Android\tools

    If I take off tools, it didn't give me that error message.



    I appreciate you help.
    that's the newest android sdk? seems like there is no file structure there. all files were dumped in one directory? there should be a few folders... one of them being tools... redownload from google.
    That's the file I downloaded from the link on the first page of this thread: Download the Android SDK | Android Developers

    I am downloading it again.

    No luck, same file. Where did you download your SDK file from? What was your file structure?

    Understood, I typically just drag files from winzip to the folder I want them in. I will unzip using Winzip.

    yes, but you may need to put "su" in the tools folder. just throw a copy in there.
