To get XP's hardware wizards like:

1. Hardware Update Wizard

2. Add Hardware Wizard

3. Possibly more

Copy the following files from XP x64 (x86 if installation is 32 bit)

devmgr.dll

newdev.dll

hdwwiz.cpl

Change their permissions in your host, then replace them (rename them in case you want to backup) with the files from XP x64. No hexediting needed.

You can't open Add Hardware Wizard from Device Manager, tho you can open hdwwiz.exe to open it

By right clicking and clicking "Install"? It breaks that unless you import a key from Windows XP x64 which I forgot
