[Tool][Windows][PowerShell] Android Platform Tools Updater (ADB & Fastboot)

[o-l-a-v]

Hi folks,

I've created a PowerShell script which will install or update Android Platform Tools to the latest version. It will also add the install path to Windows Environment Variables, which will make you able to type "adb" or "fastboot" in CMD from anywhere in Windows.

ADB and Fastboot from anywhere.​

Thank you o-1-a-v!

First run I got:

Installed version is up to date (v0.0.0.0).
 Add-AndroidPlatformToolsToEnvironmentVariables : Cannot validate argument on parameter 'PathDirAndroidPlatformTools'. The "[bool]$(Test-Path -Path 
$_ -ErrorAction 'SilentlyContinue')" validation script for the argument with value "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android Platform Tools" did not return 
a result of True. Determine why the validation script failed, and then try the command again.

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (:) [Add-AndroidPlat...onmentVariables], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentValidationError,Add-AndroidPlatformToolsToEnvironmentVariables

I created the "Android Platform Tools" dir, and then got:

Installed version is up to date (v0.0.0.0).
 Checking and eventually adding Android Platform Tools to Current User Environment Variables. Success? True.

Running Windows 10.

Updated the tool a bit today. Found more showstopper bugs. But think it's at least usefull now.

Made a script that can install ADB drivers on Windows. Not thoroughly tested, but seems to work.

#Requires -RunAsAdministrator
#Requires -Version 5.1
<#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Downloads and installs Google ADB drivers for Windows.

    .DESCRIPTION
        Downloads and installs Google ADB drivers for Windows.

        * Currently there is no logic to check installed version vs. what's available.
        * If already installed, running the script will just install the newest available driver again.

# Install .INF
Write-Output -InputObject '# Install .INF'

# Check results
Write-Output -InputObject '# Checking if driver is found after install'
$InstalledDriver = [array](
    Get-WindowsDriver -Online -All | Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.'ClassName' -eq 'AndroidUsbDeviceClass'}
)
if ($InstalledDriver.'Count' -ge 1) {
    Write-Output -InputObject 'Found the driver.'
    Exit 0
}
else {
    Throw 'Did not find the driver.'
    Exit 1
}

Maybe I'll add the to the main script later.
