Google Nexus S driver and Windows 7 x64

It appeared that there's no automatic driver installation for Google Nexus S under Windows 7 x64. Even after installing Andoid SDK and downloading drivers, Flash Builder 4.5 not recognizes it as valid device.

In Device Manager Google Nexus S will be displayed with yellow triangle sign as it were unrecognized device. Right-click it and select Properties. Copy-paste Hardware ID information. As written in this Adobe article, edit <Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 Home>\utilities\drivers\android\android_winusb.inf by adding strings like this into [Google.NTx86] section:

;Google Nexus S
%CompositeAdbInterface%     = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E22&REV_0227&MI_01
%CompositeAdbInterface%     = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E22&MI_01
Then 'Update driver' for Nexus S unrecognized device using <Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 Home>\utilities\drivers\android\android_winusb.inf.

Creating Flex widget

Flex and Coldfusion seems like made for each other. What I'm saying? Yes, Coldfusion and Flex ARE made for each other! Adobe spend time and effort to make Flex best tool for creating rich user interface for internet applications and in same time, make Coldfusion best data back-end for Flex. To demonstrate and educate (myself) about Flex and Coldfusion, I plan to write series of articles about different aspects of Flex, it's interoperation with Coldfusion, data transport etc etc. I plan to create simple info widget as a guinea-pig.
 
Adobe miraculously joined it's young client-side technology, Flex, with veteran server platform - Coldfusion. This was technology breaktrough that other companies only dream about and running off the leg chasing Adobe with their products (SilverFX, JavaLight... what their names again ?). Creating powerful web-applications with rich user interface and robust data back-end never been simpler.
