This forum post (german) contains information how to use adb with windows.
- Download the text file
- Save it as „android_usb.inf“ in the usb-driver/x86 folder of your android sdk (at least 1.5_r3) (if you have an amd processor, you will have to edit the inf file by your own, replacing all device identification strings with the information found in the hardware manager, „USB\VID_04E8&PID_6640&MI_04“)
- Connect the phone with usb-debugging activated (phone settings, Applications, Development)
- In the upcoming dialog, select the driver manually by browsing to the location of the driver
- Start the command line (Windows, Run, cmd)
- Start „adb devices“ should list your Galaxy phone now (if it doesn’t, start „adb kill-server“ and then „adb devices“; you might have to restart eclipse if it was running before)
I had to edit the file slightly („Vid“ instead of uppercase „VID“, „Pid“ instead of „PID“, and „Mi“ instead of „MI“). To be able to use debugging in your application, you will have to enable debugging in the xml manifest of that application (android:debuggable=“true“).
