adb is in the HoB utils dir. Your install is messed up if it's not finding it.

I'm looking in the utils directory right now. adb is not in there. The only things in there are 7za.exe, CDTParser, exe, fciv.exe, and sa-md5sum. I just re-ran the 7.0 installer and adb is still not in there.

And as Dave said, it makes no sense that adb is not running because it is actually installed. I can run adb at the command line from the root, from /users/xxx, etc. I don't understand why adb is not being installed in the utils directory.

Any ideas?

You're joking right? How about update to 7.2.

I swear to you I am not joking. I downloaded each file from your HoB thread, checked to make sure I downloaded each one, and ran the executables.

Ah! I just installed 7.2 and adb is in there. I have no idea why it didn't install with 7.0, but there it is. Starting the install process now...

Actually, it does make sense if you look at the batch file. It sets up a variable called %UTILS% and the ADB command is explicitly referenced to run from that exact location. So in this case, it doesn't care that you have the SDK installed and adb is in your path statement.

Sort of like if I am trying to run "C:\files\runme.bat" it's not going to run "C:\otherfiles\runme.bat" - even if I have "C:\otherfiles\runme.bat" in my path, it's still going to give an error if I try running "C:\files\runme.bat" and that particular "runme.bat" file doesn't exist. A direct path reference always overrides the PATH environment variable.

Because 7.0 didn't include it.

I made this change for the reason that I can control exactly what's used. I know what versions they are and there's no outside interference.
