Check to see if the Andriod Device is installed on PC. See steps below. The 'Other device' will change to 'Andriod Device' once the USB drive is installed. The browse path should be \extras\google\usb_driver\ not the sub directories under it. Otherwise the installation will not find the package.

To install the Android USB driver on Windows 7 for the first time:

Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port. Right-click on Computer from your desktop or Windows Explorer, and select Manage. Select Devices in the left pane. Locate and expand Other device in the right pane. Right-click the device name (such as Nexus S) and select Update Driver Software. This will launch the Hardware Update Wizard. Select Browse my computer for driver software and click Next. Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located in \extras\google\usb_driver.) Click Next to install the driver.
