We actually support Windows 2000 onwards in the last release version
of libusb0.sys
1.2.6.0 version. The git repo has removed Windows 2000 support.

However, we have a new issue with regard to next release, digital signature
for the libusb0.sys.

Discussion here:

It seems to me that at most we can support Windows 7 onwards from now on.
Users of Windows XP and Windows Vista will have to use libusb-win32
1.2.6.0 release.

Anyone still using Windows XP or Windows Vista? Have you tried the
snapshot release 1.2.7.3 here?
https://github.com/mcuee/libusb-win32/releases/tag/snapshot_1.2.7.3

For Windows Vista 32 bit, most likely it will work with the special
build of Zadig.
For Windows Vista 64 bit, it may or may not work with the special
build of Zadig.

For Windows XP 32bit, it may well work as well, please use old version
of Zadig 2.2
version to install libusb0.sys 1.2.6.0, then use the libusb-win32
1.2.7.3 snapshot release
installer (libusb-win32-devel-filter-1.2.7.3.exe) to upgrade libusb0.sys and
libusb0.dll to 1.2.7.3 version.

For Windows XP 64 bit, you can try the same step as Windows XP 32 bit to
see if that works or not.

It will be greatly appreciated that you can report your success or failure here.
