[center]Installing a Driver when there's no Installation .EXE file to run[/center] Drivers typically download as an EXE or ZIP file... When a driver downloads as an .EXE file, you only need double click the .EXE. The EXE file installs the driver for you If a driver downloads as a .ZIP file: Extract the content and save to a folder on your Desktop. Open the folder and look if there's a Setup.exe file If you see a Setup.exe double click to run it
On occasion the setup file may be named something else
If you happen to see a file named Uninstall.exe, ignore it. It's the uninstaller, not the installation EXE
But if the top level of the folder doesn't include a Setup.exe installation file, try directing Windows to the folder you want it to install
Open Device Manager. Right click the the device you want to install. Select Update Driver
Click No, not this time then Next
Click Install from a list or specific location then Next
Check Include this location in the search then Browse to the folder you saved on your Desktop (I.e. the extracted ZIP file) then Next
If Windows thinks the driver in the folder is a match for the device you selected, it will install it. Reboot to allow driver installation to complete
Once driver installation is complete you can delete the folder on your Desktop. (But you may want to save it somewhere should you ever need to reinstall the driver again)
