Yesterday i had a problem with a Win XP computer where the ADB driver just didn't want to install. The worst part was that on that particular PC it worked correctly some time ago.
After a lot of digging around I've found out that the problem was that somehow the "WDF01005" (which is actually "Microsoft Kernel-Mode Driver Framework Feature Pack 1.5", on some sites it was listed as "KMDF Coinstaller 1.5") was not installed. Of course, searching the net for it didn't get me any closer to a solution.
Anyways, to make a long story short, i managed to fix it by creating the uninstall registry entry for it, it seems that i did have it installed (or maybe i had a newer version installed) all along just that the reg-entry got deleted.
Here's the reg file :
(just save it into "fix_wdf01005.reg" and double click it to install it with Regedit, or you can add the key manually and add a DWORD value with the name "SystemComponent" and value of 1.)
So, if you ever get the error that Windows XP cannot install the "Android Platform Sooner Single ADB Interface" driver then you might want to see if you have the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Wdf01005" key as it is used by the driver installation and if it's missing then it fails and the driver is not installed.
I hope it helps others too,
P.S. i just tested, it worked for my Samsung phone too, it also failed to install the Android ADB driver and thus the ADB command said "error : device not found", now it worked correctly, it even found the drivers it needed through Windows Update so i didn't have to install anything manually.
