Cannot Install This Hardware - Android Hardware Device Setup

Question

I ran into a problem trying to set up a hardware device for testing Android applications using Eclipse.

After following the "Using Hardware Devices" guide from Android and going to their link in step 3 I attempted to follow the steps there. I went to their OEM drivers table and clicked on Samsung and found my product had no available downloads. However, as I continued I discovered that the driver for my Samsung Galaxy Tab III was already on my computer. This happened when I followed the steps listed under "Windows" and "Or, upgrade and existing Android USB driver . . . " and I get to the last few steps and input the file location . . .

C:\Software\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130917\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\  

I get the following error from the update wizard:

"The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software".

So what should I do now? Are the files I have downloaded from Android out-of-date? Any help would be greatly appreciated guys!

Thanks, Mikayla

Answer 1

Actually there is a great software that Samsung provides that includes the capability to backup the device, after downloading it the device showed up in Eclipse.
