I have read every post I can find pertaining to setting up ADB. On the first try, I was able to get my computer to recognize the device as an Android Phone with Android ADB Interface. However, whenever I try to execute an admin command prompt I get the following error:
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.. I haven't done command prompts in 20 years (back when that was the only way to get the computer to do anything). It is probably a syntax error but I can't figure it out. I know how to change directories. Do I need the Android SDK and the Java JDK installed? I currently have a rooted Nook Tablet and all I want to do is sideload a few apps on this HD+, I'd rather not root until we get all the 'bugs' worked out. Thanks in advance.

Go to my HD+ tips thread linked in my signature. There is a file attached there, adb.rar. Download and extract that. There should be three files there. Put them in the folder on your PC where you want to run adb. That error you discussed is that it could not find those adb files in the folder you were running in.
