Default Unable to Install Driver

John,

So no rt73 files, no aegis files and no results.txt file containing the all
important message "Driver install was successful." I simply don't know or
understand why this is happening. 99% of cases where the drive install
fails are a result of the windows\inf file hitting the limits of the FAT
filing system due to containing a large number of zero byte oem*.inf files,
usually the result of having a Symantec "product" installed, but you've
already confirmed that that is not the case.

Given that the installer hangs and doesn't complete am I correct in assuming
that you don't see a popup small rectangular window that says something
along the lines of "Updating hardware information database"? This is the
point at which details of the inf files etc is added to the database so that
the device is recognised each time it is inserted. I'm guessing the "hang"
happens before you get to this stage.
