Installing drivers for HTC Desire

I recently treated myself to a shiny new HTC Desire – partly to learn more about Android development, and partly because, well, I wanted one.  :) It’s a great piece of kit, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it.

I wanted to debug apps on the handset rather than the simulator, but like many others, I had big problems installing drivers under Vista (32 bit). The solution, for me, was to install HTC Sync.

After a good hour of struggling, this installed in minutes and solved all of my problems. Hopefully this saves someone else some time!

  1. Ouch. That’s the first thing I tried except they don’t have a HTC sync for osx. Making the problem that little bit more fun for me.

    According to the docs:

    “If you’re developing on Mac OS X, it just works. Skip this step.”

    That a lie then? ;)
