4) The command prompt will pop up and you will need to type these commands into the prompt EXACTLY AS THEY ARE:

When you say exactly as they are I have to type on one line when I hit enter it gives me an error message sorry if this is a dumb question but I have never done anything like this before I may ask more dumb questions before this is done sorry

I installed the Motorola 4.2.0 Driver with MotoConnect* (for 32-bit versions of Windows®) , but I cannot find the "android" folder in my C drive. I have tried searching for it as well, and have no luck in finding it.

I have a Motorola folder in my Program Files folder, but there are no folders in there named Android.

I do have a MotoConnectService folder though inside the Motorola Folder.

How do I continue with this?

Thanks in Advance

Yes EXACTLY, if you get an error, doublecheck what you've done so far because something isn't right

I am currently trying to figure this out, you're not the first person that has said this. This is the way I installed everything a while back so I can't figure out what is going wrong on others computers......Did the SDK run a setup wizard thing and install it on your computer??

Yes, it did install on my computer. I am running Vista, if that helps.

And there's not a new folder named "android" in the C: drive? Or whatever your main local disk drive is called?

There is no folder in my C:drive, which is my main local drive.
Doing a search for Android on my computer turns up nothing either.

Man, I'm puzzled, I don't know what to tell you now....

Is the SDK folder still on your desktop? From where you first downloaded it and installed? If it is, and it or a folder inside of it is named android, try moving android to the C: drive yourself first.....

If you open the android folder the first 3 files inside of it should be named:

add-ons
platforms
tools

And there should be 3 more in there just so you know that you have the correct folders....

is the folder named "android-sdk-window"?

I actually found it...and I am on the part where I have to copy the address to the "Edit system Variable" part.

Do I do a straight paste to the end of that string? or do I have to add a '\' first?
this is how it would look if i just do a straight paste:
blahblahblah\System32\WbemC:\android-sdk-windows\tools
or should there be a '\' in between Wbem and C:\ like this:
blahblahblah\System32\Wbem\C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

Thanks for the help
