This thread is a work-in-progress full guide of getting Windows Vista CPLs to run on later versions of Windows.
Add Hardware CPL
Grab the following registry keys from Windows Vista SP2:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/ControlPanel/Namespace/{7A979262-40CE-46ff-AEEE-7884AC3B6136}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/{7A979262-40CE-46ff-AEEE-7884AC3B6136}
and add them to your Windows registry as TrustedInstaller.
If you want a even more accurate look to Vista, replace hdwwiz.cpl and it's MUI with its Windows Vista version.
