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"?

Hi Mike,

I do get this message along with its 'updating bar' across the screen! -
and this completes!


Perhaps this is for the files that do load, maybe one or two are inf files
but not the ones needed


John

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.

The files listed are from the ME version from the Edimax site; - it
looks like the files you mention 73** just didnt install!
