This doesn't seem to fix the problem I have on Vista 32 bit.
This could be related to some undeletable keys in the registry called VID_0BB4&PID_0C02 I've tried deleting them and I get and "Error while deleting key", I've tried altering the permissions and I get "Access is denied" (this is when regedit is started from a command prompt that was started with "Run as Administrator"). In Safe mode I get a blanket permission denied message when trying to just edit the keys.

Although even this didn't fix the problem. I still get "Windows was able to successfully install device driver software, but the driver software encountered a problem when it tried to run. The problem code is 10."
Raphael, if you want the "Check for solutions" log file which has all my devices listed let me know and I'll email it to you along with the .inf file windows is trying to use (which is the one from the 1.5_r1 SDK).

I had exactly the same problem on vista, it's not possible to delete
the keys.
What I did was open the device manager in control panel and then turn
on "show all devices" or something like that. I don't have vista handy
so can't fine the exact option but it's on one of the menus.
Then I uninstalled any devices that looked like it belonged to the
phone. I had tried this before but without the option to show
everything turned on and likely missed some. Uninstalling the device
removes the entries in the registry so you can see when it has worked.
Clearly uninstalling random devices isn't the best idea so be careful.

Oh my snakes on a plane... it's working... it's actually working!!!!!
OK, here are the things I did;
1) With the g1 *not* connected, I used the MS knowledgebase article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241257) to remove the device and selected the "Remove drivers for this device" checkbox for the ADB bridge driver.
2) Turned off auto driver updates (Right click on my computer, select properties, then System protection (on the left), then the hardware tab, then the "Windows Update Driver Settings" button, then selected "Ask me each time I connect a new device before checking for drivers", the Click OK).
3) Fired up the G1, made sure the "USB debugging" was on and "Stay away" was on as well.
4) While the screen was still active (i.e. not gone into lock or sleep), connected the G1.
5) Hey presto... the device is now there :) :) :).

cool.
I had asked HTC if they had drivers...
their answer :-( :
" You recently wrote us about an issue that you have encountered with your htc To clarify your issue, you stated that: you would like to install usb driver in Google android SDK 1.5. – Unfortunately we do not do the developer support and we are unable to answer your question. If the above steps do not resolve your issue, we invite you to visit the support area on our Web site. Please go to: http://www.htc.com/www/support.aspx " "

I'll translate: "No, they are part of the Android SDK" :-p
