Hi, Nikolay Thanks for the quick response. While I was waiting, however, I appear to have got further by copying adb.exe to the directory it was looking for it in, which was NOT 'platform-tools'. Yet I already had 2.2: they switched between 'tools' and 'platform-tools' further back than that.
Anyway: I can't remember how I got the AVD manager to launch again, I had to do more flailing before I got that to work; I do remember having to restart Eclipse more often than I thought I should need to, and I updated the ADT via Eclipse>Help rather than using the manager. I still have some error messages, but am finally able to update things through the manager again. I am in the middle of downloading SDK Tools 12 again, and then SDK Platform Tools rev 6 and SDK Platform Android 3.0 API 11 (which is the level I need). So I am further than I was, but not sure I am "out of the woods" just yet. But I do need to ask: how -do- you go about "running the SDK update directly (not from within Eclipse)?". I see no direction for that in the online updating directions, nor does 'android' work in a command window, as one old post suggested it should.
