Path not being searched in Windows XP

Question

I am trying to add the Android Debug Bridge to my PATH in Win XP so that Eclipse won't complain about not being able to find it.

Even after I add the platform-tools directory to the path and reset the computer, adb is still not found by the command prompt.

My current path is: C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WBEM;C:\WINDOWS\system32 \WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools;

Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this?

Answer 1

Could this is be the answer that you're looking for?

EDIT:
Have you tried the other suggested solutions on that page as well? Many claim they were able to fix similar issues with not being able to locate adb.exe.

Answer 2

What is the exact message you receive when you type adb.exe at a command prompt?

I get:

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

(& rightfully so as I do not have adb.)

Does adb.exe need to be run as Administrator or anything like that? A Path you may have set, may not be set for another user - if using something like, "Run As".
