Automated ADB Driver Installer for Sony Tablet S, P, and Xperia Tablet S

Based off the work of thecubed over in the Nook Color forums, I've created the equivalent ADB Driver installer for the Sony Tablets including the new Xperia Tablet S.

thecubed's original thread for the Nook Color: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=910008

The installer is fully automated and negates the need to install the Android SDK or edit any files.
It has been tested under Windows 7 x32 and x64 and should also work for Vista and XP.

========================================
As of 2012 November, Windows 8 requires you to disable driver signing and MANUALLY install the drivers.

Method A:
Open an ADMINISTRATOR Command Prompt:
To disable driver signing, copy/paste the following commands:
bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON

[RESTART]
(on your desktop you'll see the watermark: "Test mode'" until you re-enable driver signing).

Re-enable driver signing:
bcdedit -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF

[RESTART]

Method B:

• From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings,
• Click "Change PC Settings".
• Click "General".
• Scroll down, and click "Restart now" under "Advanced startup".
• Click "Troubleshoot".
• Click "Advanced Options".
• Click "Startup Settings".
• Click [Restart].
• Choose "Disable driver signature enforcement" (Usually #7)
• Install device drivers either through the automated tool or manually.

========================================

(If you're running Windows XP, you may also need to manually install the MTP [media transfer protocol] drivers located here: http://android.mrboot.de/index.php?/archives/6-Sony-Tablet-S-MTP-driver-for-3G-version.html Thanks to cbuckmiller]

It should be quick and painless for 95% of users but if the your tablet still shows up as an unknown device, I've also included step-by-step instructions to manually install the drivers (README.txt).

ADB is also bundled in the ZIP file so you can run "adb devices" as well as any other commands.
