Is there any way to install the Motorola USB drivers on Windows 8? I downloaded MotoHelper, but it won't install, saying that the OS Version is unknown. Is there some other way to get ADB to see my Droid X, or can I somehow extract the drivers from the installer?

I am not worried about stability - just playing around with the OS for now. Unfortunately, not being able to do Android development is making it less than fun.

You might want to check to see if Super User has any posts on getting drivers to work in Windows 8. – Matthew Read♦ Apr 2 '12 at 17:30

Oh, you might want to tweak that a little -- mobile device questions are off-topic there. Just to make it clear that you want to get PC-side drivers working. I'm not sure of the best way to do that since it seems there might not be a general solution. Maybe something like asking how to trick the installer into thinking it's Windows 7, or something ... in the end it's up to you :P – Matthew Read♦ Apr 3 '12 at 17:19
