adb.exe not working

Hello,

I'm getting stuck building an Android app at this point

[DEBUG] "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe" -e get-state

I asked a previous question, and have all the correct paths (as far as I can tell), so I'm not sure what the problem is. I've followed the install guide and diagnostics for Windows without much success.

Any ideas why adb.exe always stops working when it gets to -e get-state?

Thanks

systeminfo - http://pastebin.com/cxm5QPpC

OS - Windows Vista 32bit

Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo @2.20Ghz

RAM - 4GB

Also this is the error message I get from -e -get-state
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb -e get-state error: protocol fault (no status)

  • I've tried adb -e get-state from the command line and that gives the 'adb.exe has stopped working…' error as well

  • Is this a problem with the emulator? -e get-state trying to get the state of one running emulator, which then returns an error?

    Please follow the instructions at Install Diagnostics for Windows. Copy the output and paste it to your preferred pastebin service, and paste the link to it here. It's important that you do not modify it in any way, as this could mask problems with your configuration. Do NOT paste the actual code here! This is because the system will change the formatting.

    Also, please create and share a screenshot of your android installed packages, using something like ImageShack

    Lastly, run the command systeminfo at the commandline and share it in a pastebin.

    State your OS, and the processor and RAM installed to your system.

    Then I will help you further.

    • Hi Rob

      Your configuration looks pretty good. However, you need to install the "Google APIs by Google Inc., Android API y" packages for the enhanced google functionality (like maps).

      See Preparing for Android development

      Also, make sure you have followed the guidance at the bottom of that section about adb.

      Cheers
