5. In the Installed hardware list, click Add a new hardware device, and then click Next.
6. In the What do you want the wizard to do? list, click Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced), and then click Next.

Well I get lost at point one, it's called This Computer and clicking properties goes to System and I have to go to Advance system settings, point 2 I have no Add Hardware Wizard on my Hardware tab. So not sure how you are following that. but nevermind. The loopback is now called Microsoft KM-TEST Loopback Adapter

try this, right click start choose Run. Enter hdwwiz.exe click ok

Click Next, select 'Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)' click Next, scroll down select 'Network adapters' click Next, what for the list to retrieve, select 'Microsoft' in the in the left pane (at the bottom), in the right plane select 'Microsoft KM-TEST Loopback Adapter' (third from bottom) click Next, Next again wait for it to install click Finish.
