So I'm trying to get the Gapps from this link http://nookdevs.com/NookColor:_Nookie_Froyo_Tips#3rd-Party_App_support. I believe I got ADB and the drivers installed correctly. Now what do I do. I open up CMD and when I put in the first line of that script, it basically says $ is not a recognized command or something along those lines. I'm so close to doing the last thing I want to, but can't get over this hump. Can someone give me the play by play on what to do?
Got ADB running, now what?

Yeah, USB debugging is definitely needed. Having storage mode on is fine too.
But let's slow down and back up a little here. Btw, I'm not trying to be condescending with the following. Just being thorough.
First, unplug your Nook from USB. Next, on the Nook uncheck then recheck USB debugging. Now back up to the Home screen.
If you're running Windows Vista/7, make sure you're running command prompt as Administrator. Better safe than sorry. Now at a command prompt type:
adb kill-server
There won't be any result but you should get back to the command prompt.
Now connect the Nook via USB and type:
adb devices
This is just to re-connect your Nook to your computer. You should get a result like:
Now type:
adb shell
If you don't get a $ (unrooted) or # (rooted) prompt, then I think there is something wrong with the drivers you installed.
If you do get a $ or # prompt, type:
exit
You should be back to your command prompt.
If you get this far, re-extract or move the zip from http://nookdevs.com/NookColor:_Nookie_Froyo_Tips#3rd-Party_App_support to C:\Temp.
At a command prompt type:
cd C:\Temp
dir
You should get something like
Now type (or copy/paste):
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system
You should get back to a command prompt. Now type (or copy/paste):
adb push "C:\Temp\system" system/
Again you should get back to a command prompt. Now type (or copy/paste):
adb reboot
This will reboot your Nook and the Google Apps will be available.
No problem. Actually I'm glad it worked because I just realized that my steps were assuming that you have Froyo on a micro SD card. This wouldn't have worked if you had Froyo on the internal memory. Also, that step you missed is really not necessary. That's just to make sure you had the zip extracted properly. In any case, good to hear it worked out.

^ please insert .com for {dotcom} as i cant post links since i dont have enough posts, this forum is good but kinda harsh towards newcomers, otherwise love the forum.
I was stuck at the same spot as you and took me forever to find the fix until i stumbled upon that page. Im in Ubuntu 10.04 so i cant speak for the windows procedure, but it worked perfect for me. I now have HC v3 with gapps thanks to that site. hope this helps

I'm having similar issues. Unfortunately I'm leaving for Fl. for 4 days. As an aside, it would be great if there were some kind of adb gui program for windows. Something were instead of manually entering dos commands like "/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system" you could just browse to your nooks system dir. and drop the file in question. Probably just dreaming here. Anyway, I will try your guide as soon as I get back. Cant wait!
