the bootstrapper now handles starting the service. This makes sure the sdk is setup before it starts.
bootstrapper is self contained, the msi is an embedded resource and all referenced assemblies are ILMerged
repository file is hosed on the droid explorer google code site, it is based on the same one that google uses for the android sdk setup
the tools are also hosted on the google code site, this is so the download size is smaller, since all unused bits are removed.
A fully standalone version of install is also available. No need for internet access to install.

It doesn't actually install the drivers, it places them in the driver store, when the device is attached, and the new hardware wizard displays, selecting "automatically install (recommended)" should find the drivers automatically. This installs the 1.6 drivers.

- Saphire (MyTouch3G/ION/Magic)
- Dream (G1/ADP1)

Change log 0.7.5.0
Fixed plugins executing when loading within Runner

Fixed bug with apk's not displaying.
Fixed Batch Installer not "showing"
provided a way to manually install, start and stop the droid explorer service - for non-installer users
added ability to save debug output to a file
moved debug window filter buttons to the right
debug window will display below DE if there is room, otherwise, it will display at the top of the screen
added plugin to launch DesktopSMS. Requires the DesktopSMS Server APK be installed on the device - Currently usinging a signed jar by me, hopefully the developer will sign his version.

it should also handle "unhandled" errors better
wired up Tools menu items
Added property to indicate if a plugin can be ran by the Runner
Jumplist items added for runnable plugins
Change log 0.7.3.0
app.manifest added to projects. requestedExecutionLevel = requireAdministrator. This means in Vista/Win7 it will prompt w/ UAC. I can not get around this at this time.
this is because in order for the service to use the same settings as the application, i need to save them in the install directory.
The sdk tools, if downloaded, is no longer stored in the user directory, it is stored in the install directory, see above for the reason.
Known devices moved back to HKLM for the same reasons above.
New Options form added.
Device manager now part of options dialog
plugins can now reside in any directory as long as it is added to the plugins settings
plugins can now be enabled or disabled from the options dialog
Service is now working because of the requireAdministrator change.
DroidExplorer.Runner added - a tool that can execute a plugin; usage: DroidExplorer.Runner.exe /type=Full.Plugin.Class.Name,Plugin.Assembly.Nam/any /additional /args
if the type argument is not specified, then it will display a plugin selection dialog.
Installer plugin. This is launched by the runner when an APK file is opened in Explorer.
Registry settings to register .apk files to open with DroidExplorer.Runner /Installer (create with MSI installer)
.apk files can be installed by double clicking them or by right clicking and selecting "Install"
.apk files can be uninstalled by right clicking and selecting "Uninstall"
the initial device selection dialog is only required if more then 1 device is connected.
If you have set up to use the SDK tools by downloading the tools and put them in your user application data directory, when launched, it will prompt you to re-setup the tools. They are not stored in the user directory because the Service can not access that directory.
Just realized the bug with the device name not showing in the titlebar/addressbar. This is already fixed and will be in the next release.
dude nice stuff !!! ... cant wait to look through the source to learn some more C# tricks

that's because it uses more then just the ADB, it makes use of a lot of the tools within the SDK. It looks like you have ADB setup in your c:\windows\ directory. Currently you have to manually set up the tools path in the environment variables, but in the next release (hopefully tonight) I will have a utility built in that will download, extract and set up the path environment variable with the SDK tools.

Weird, I've had the environment variables set up just fine for the past 8 months for adb and the sdk. In SYSTEM PROPERTIES > ADVANCED > ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
Edit: wth they got erased somehow haha. Looks like ill set them up again. Probably good to include them in your next release as a lot of people aren't willing to set up the SDK.

I'm having this same problem. I can use adb to access my phone but your app simply freezes up.
Jumping back to .6 for now since its working for me
Main thing I love it just viewing me SD without forceing the cell 2 reboot on unmont
that and I connect with Droid Explorer so android screen cast connects easily lol

hmmm. honest, i tested the setup like 90 times. I'll look in to it when i get off work this afternoon. Sorry if it broke your original setup.
There is a manual work around if you want the latest version and bypass the setup.
Create DroidExplorer\sdk\ Directory in User application data directory
- c:\documents and settings\<username>\applicationdata\ on pre-vista
- c:\users\<username>\appdata\roaming\ vista & 7
download http://droidexplorer.googlecode.com/files/android-sdk-tools-1.5r3.zip and extract to that directory
OR copy the platforms and tools directories from the root of your SDK directory to the above path.
The DroidExplorer\SDK directory should now have 2 directories in side, platforms and tools
Restart Droid Explorer
I will change the installer later today to contain this zip file, I just tried to keep the initial installer as small as possible.
it works with the work around.
HTC G1 Dream JF v1.51
Anyone that is in need of it .. attached here is the Motorola Atrix4G addon for the Android SDK .. also the instructions for installation and execution.
http://www.mediafire.com/?73hkz09wr0l1kqe
Installing and Using Motorola SDK Add-ons
A Motorola SDK add-on, when added to the Android™ SDK, allows you to run and debug your applications on an emulated Motorola handset. Note that while the device image that the add-on presents does not necessarily reflect the look of the actual device, from a functional standpoint it should be a fairly faithful emulation of the actual handset.
Installing the add-on
To install the Motorola SDK add-on, unzip it, and copy the resulting directory to the directory named add-ons within the Android SDK that you are using (if you are using MOTODEV Studio for Android and are not sure where it placed the Android SDK, check the SDK Location field in the Android preferences dialog).
** NOTE: If MOTODEV Studio for Android or Eclipse™ were running when you copied the SDK add-on, you will need to restart it for the add-on to be recognized by your development environment.
Using the add-on
In order to run or debug your applications on an emulated Motorola handset, you must first create an AVD that has its AVD Target set to reference the SDK add-on. You can then deploy your applications to it. When creating your projects, you can either target the emulated Motorola device specifically (which you would do if your application runs only on that device), or you can select a more general, compatible target such as Android 1.5. The following sections detail the steps involved in each of these tasks.
Creating an AVD
To create an AVD named "Motorola" using the command line, do the following (you may need to be within the Android SDK's "tools" directory):
android list targets
The details for each possible target are listed, starting with a unique ID number that identifies that target. Make note of the ID number for the Motorola add-on you want to target.
android create avd -n Motorola -t target-ID
For target-ID supply the ID number for the target you obtained from the previous step.
To create it from within MOTODEV Studio for Android:
Select Android AVD Manager from the Window menu. The Android Virtual Devices Manager dialog appears.
Enter Motorola (or whatever name you want to give the new AVD) in the Name field.
From the Target list, select the target named for the Motorola device you are targeting.
From the Skin list, select the skin named for your target device.
If you want the emulated device to have an SD card, in the SDCard field either specify the path and filename to a file containing an existing SD card image, or specify a size (such as 64M) to create a new, empty SD card image. Leave this field blank if the device isn't to have an SD card.
Click Create AVD.
Click Finish to close the dialog.
When creating Run or Debug configurations, you can now select this new AVD when choosing a target device.
**NOTE: If your newly-created AVD does not appear in the Device Management view, click Refresh, which is located in the top right corner of that view.
Starting the AVD
If you start a Run or Debug configuration that specifies a Motorola SDK add-on AVD as the target device, the AVD will be automatically launched for you. If you want to start the AVD without deploying an application to it, you can do so either from the command line or from within MOTODEV Studio for Android. From the command line, the following command will start the AVD named "Motorola":
emulator -avd Motorola
To start it from within MOTODEV Studio for Android, select the AVD from within the Device Management view and click Start.
Targeting the Motorola device
If your application is designed specifically for a Motorola device, select the corresponding Motorola SDK add-on as the project target when creating the project.
To change an existing project so that it targets the SDK add-on from an Eclipse-based IDE such as MOTODEV Studio for Android:
Right-click the project in the Package Explorer and select Properties.
From the list of properties select Android.
The project build target is shown in the right side of the dialog; select the one named for your target device.
If you are not using an Eclipse-based IDE you can change your project's target with the android update project command; see Google's developer documentation on developing in other IDEs.

You're welcome
What features does the addon add? I'm assuming nothing I can play with right now because the main app I'm working on now is in Necessitas/Qt, but when I get back to playing with Eclipse what could this do?
Hmm, that's weird. Maybe I'm missing something, but why set up a mediafire link for it when it's freely available from the Motorola development website?
Plus if you download it from there, you can get install directions, USB drivers, motodev studio, and even some sample apps...
Simple step by step tutorial for installing the Tizen SDK for Wearables
1) Go to http://developer.samsung.com/
2) Select Development Tools for Samsung Gear.
3) Under the SDK portion of the table, select Tizen SDK for Wearable.
4) Before downloading the files, choose a target location. This will make locating the files easier later on.
5) Under Tizen SDK for Wearable 1.0.0b2, in the Install Manager column, select and download the install bin or exe file for your development environment. This file is approximately 4 MB.
6) Under SDK Image, select and download the matching SDK Image. This file is approximately 560MB.
7) Double-click the Install Manager (the 4MB file). The Tizen Window for SDK appears, saying “Cannot start Tizen SDK for the Wearable Install Manager” and “Cannot find repository. Please check your repository (http://)”
8) Click on the Advanced button.
9) Select the SDK Image radio button (bottom half of the screen), and click on the open folder icon to the right.
10) Locate the SDK Image (~560MB), select it, and click Open. This is where having a predetermined download target can be very helpful. The file unzips and takes you back to the previous screen. Click OK.
11) This takes you back to the Tizen Window for SDK, except now you have no warning, and a Next button. Click the Next button.
12) The EULA appears, read and accept the EULA by clicking Next.
13) Install type is Typical. Click Next.
14) Accept the default install location or choose your own, and click Next.
15) The Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM) Setup Wizard appears. Click Next for the next three screens, and then click Finish.
16) Reboot if asked to.
Installation is now complete. Next is to start working with some of the Sample Projects, like Making a Custom Watch Face

Tyzen SDK: cannot execute java even if it was istalled, check environment variables or Java version (1.06 or superior)
Changing or introducing java path variable doesnt work sofar. You get stuck at start. The same problem occurs when installing the wearables SDK version, 32 or 64 bits in W7.
First question, I suppose I could have added more relevant data. Thank You.
Other cases are adb and fastboot problems after Android SDK and Eclipse.
