Titanium Developer cannot find adb.exe or android.bat in the SDK's tool directory

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

I'm installing Titanium for the first time, so I followed the instructions on the PDF document that's located in the Get Started page. I'm using Windows 7 (x64), and wanting to develop for Android smartphones. I did exactly what the guide said, but whenever I try to set the path for the Android SDK inside Titanium Dev. I get the following error message:

"Couldn't find adb.exe or android.bat in your SDK's "tools" directory. You may need to install a newer version of the SDK tools."

I have revision 8 of the Android SDK tools, and I installed the same versions that the guide used for the other software so I wouldn't run into compatibility problems Any ideas as to what the problem could be?

I had the same problem in OSX. The trick is to set your PATH environment variable to search the platform-tools before the tools directory. That is where adb is now. I also had to create an alias (shortcut) to adb within the tools directory.

However, I was never able to successfully build and run any programs including KitchenSink. Looks like Titanium has a way to go to support Android yet <shrug>.
