Google USB Package isn't showing in SDK Mananger

Question

I recently downloaded and installed Eclipse Java EE IDE: Indigo Service Release 2. I made a simple application that runs well on the emulator; now I want to try and run it on my android mobile device. From the Android Developers site, I followed the instructions to do so until I got to the point where I needed to locate the USB driver folder for the Google USB driver found in sdk\extras\google\usb_driver. I do not have that driver, so I went on to download it. I was told it was found in the SDK manager under "Extras". I proceeded in Eclipse to Window > Android SDK Manger. I waited for it get done fetching and then went to "Extras". Making sure "Updates/New" was checked as well as "Installed"; however, the only thing under the "Extras" tab is "Android Support Package" and nothing else.

And so here I am ... stuck on what I need to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can get the USB drivers for most devices from the manufacturer's site listed here.

As far as the Google USB drivers, I would ensure you are running the latest version of the Android SDK tools and to try running the program as admin.

Answer 2

I just noticed that bringing up the SDK manager from within Eclipse will not show the Google USB driver... However, opening it up via the Start Menu will. (Also, run it as Administrator).
