I experienced similar issues on 2 XP machines (SP3). I ended up discovering a
way to get the driver to work, though it was not intuitive.
My environment is:
Arduino 1.0RC2
Adafruit 32u4 breakout w/Leonardo bootloader (provided by Adafruit)
Win XP SP3
Here's what I did.
1. Install Arduino Leonard driver using .inf file under <arduino>\drivers
2. Open Device Manager (just to try to observe hardware changes
3. Attach the 32u4 board
4. Click 'Cancel' at all driver install prompts (I had 2)
5. A new 'USB Human Interface Device' shows up in device manager
6. Detach 32u4 board
7. Re-attach 32u4 board
8. Tell windows not to check online for driver, click 'Next'
9. Tell windows to install driver automatically, click 'Next'
After that, windows did some stuff, there were a few of the USB
connect/disconnect sounds, and the board showed up as a serial port. Once that
was there, I was able to use the board normally via the Arduino environment.
Hopefully this provides a workaround.

The VCP COM port and both HID devices did show up in most cases following a
typical "plug and install" routine, but even with the VCP port installed the
Arduino IDE still throws the "avrdude: ser_send(): write error: sorry no info
avail" error.
Not sure if you were having issues with the drivers working at all, or is the
"pre-install" somehow helping? (seems unlikely...)
This is with XP SP2, with both the Adafruit board and a custom one. Both work
fine on Win7 and Mac OS10.5

Agreed, I don't think the pre-install of the .inf file had much to do with
getting it to work. Just thought it good to be precise about the steps I took.
To me, the key seemed to be getting the HID device to show up. Until that was
there, the serial port would only show up with a red line through it.

Have the same issue.
Initially had issue installing drivers with arduino-1.0 and arduino-1.0-rc2
firmware, but arduino-1.0-rc1 leonardo firmware worked and was able to detect
and install the driver.
Now shows as HID and COM port.
But when try to upload sketch get the "avrdude: ser_send(): write error: sorry
no info avail" error message.
Works fine with on Ubuntu and with my desktop PC at office, XP professional.
But dosn't work with my laptop XP Home SP2.
Am clueless to fix this. (btw its the paperduino Leonardo)

BTW, you should know that the Leonardo bootloader and sketch code in Arduino
1.0 is pre-release and unsupported. We make no promises that the final
Leonardo code will have any particular resemblance to it, nor that boards
claiming to be "Leonardo-compatible" actually will be.

The Leonardo bootloader and driver in Arduino 1.0.1 should work, so I'm marking
this as fixed. If you're having trouble with a board from another
manufacturer, please ask them for help.
