Should I be concerned with DDMS message in the console area of Eclipse?

Question

After many hours, I have finally installed the proper version of Eclipse (3.6.2), the SDK (16.0.1), and the ADT Plugin for eclipse. I was able to "plug in" the SDK starter kit with no problem. Then, when I went to install the latest API 4.0.3 (window --> SDK manager ...), in the lower part of the window in the console (it is headed by "DDMS") the following message was displayed:

[2011-12-30 16:23:03 - DDMS] DDMS files not found: C:\Program Files    (x86)\eclipse\platform-tools\adb.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\eclipse\tools\hprof-conv.exe  C:\Program Files (x86)\eclipse\tools\traceview.bat 
[2011-12-30 16:47:18 - DeviceMonitor] Adb connection Error:An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
[2011-12-30 16:47:19 - DeviceMonitor] Connection attempts: 1

I believe that the something is looking for DDMS within the eclipse folder and not the Android folder. If this is problem or otherwise, how do I fix it? Thanks in advance!

BTW I am using windows 7 (64 bit)

Solution 1

First of all check if there are or there aren't those files. If there aren't they you should have some problems during installation and the best way is to re-install SDK.

However, if you will find there those files than you can restart adb, that mean eclipse. In extreme cases computer.

Solution 2

Thanks to all of you, I also fixed all my errors, which included some listed here. Someone on another site also recommended the following, which fixed most (if not all) of my errors:

"Try changing the ADB connection timeout. I think it defaults that to 5000ms and I changed mine to 10000ms to get rid of that problem. If you are in Eclipse, you can do this by going through Window -> Preferences and then it is in DDMS under Android."

In my case I had to go to the following (in Eclipse of course)

Windows->Preferences->Android->DDMS

The files exist, but under a different directory. They are located within the Android folder in my Program files(x86) folder, but they are being searched for within the eclipse folder in the Program files (x86) folder.
