I'm not so sure about that as my understanding is that the GET_STATUS 
issue manifested itself after the WinUSB driver had been successfully 
installed, and as far as I know, you problem is with the driver 
installation itself (yellow icon in device manager)

You have to be weary of jumping to conclusions when trying to 
troubleshoot a problem. Instead, you need to methodically work with the 
data you have.

So far, the only insight we have into your issue is that an 
ERROR_NO_CATALOG_FOR_OEM_INF error is generated during installation, and 
that Windows complains that it is looking for a signature for the driver.

If you look at the header of the inf file, you will see that I provided 
notes on how to create a cat file if needed.
To do just that, you will need to download and install the latest 
Windows Driver Kit (unless you can find the inf2cat tool online - 
unfortunately - I'm afraid Microsoft does not provide these tools 
separately, and their redistributable status is grey) and then for XP 
you would need to use a command like:

C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.0\bin\selfsigninf2cat /driver:"path_to_your inf" 
/os:XP_X86,XP_X64

The WDK can be obtained 
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=36a2630f-5d56-43b5-b996-7633f2ec14ff

If the driver installation works with a signed file, then we still have 
to explain why this is necessary on XP, but at least we'll have a better 
idea of what the problem is.

Anyway, please let us know when you have more details.
