I installed Android Studio 1.2.1.1 and also created virtual device. I am trying to install one app (APK file) through command line but I could not find adb.exe file on my machine. Please help where should I look for adb.exe file on the machine.

The executable of ADB, adb.exe, can be found under Android SDK's child folder, platform-tools/. For example, in my case, it is under C:UsersChunyenAppDataLocalAndroidsdkplatform-tools. I recommend you add your folder path to the evironment variable.
Reinstalling the platform tools might fix this problem. Open Android Studio, click SDK Manager in the toolbar or click Tools > SDK Manager, click SDK Tools, then uncheck Android-SDK Platform-Tools (as shown above). After this, open C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk and delete the platform-tools folder.
If the ADB command is not found, most likely you need to install the Android SDK Platform-Tools package to make it available in the command prompt. Also, the phone should be in USB debugging mode.
The adb.exe file will be located at your Android SDK folder, inside platform-tools
...\android-sdk-path\platform-tools\adb.exe
The default location where Android SDK is installed is:
C:\Users\<insert username here>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\
So adb will be located at:
C:\Users\<insert username here>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe
To access it on a command line, open cmd.exe and type:
cd C:\Users\<insert username here>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\
and then your normal command
adb <insert parameters here>
May be adb.exe file is missing form your computer. Try deleting platform-tools folder and re-download it from SDKManager.
