Getting the Dalvik Debug Monitor Service to run on Windows with Android 2.3 SDK
As I found out, DDMS doesn't run by default when you install the Android 2.3 SDK in Windows. If you start it up, you get an error message "Failed to get the adb version: Cannot run program "adb": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified." Thankfully, with the magic of internet search engines, I figured out that I had to add the directory that contains adb to my path statement in Windows7. After that, it just all worked.
