It's sometimes helpful to dig into the setup files for the driver and look
in any files ending in .INF

Those files are typically how the installer decides which files are going to
be copied. Sometimes it helps to find those files, move them into a
temporary directory somewhere and then retry the setup. If you can't move
the files then you may have to boot into safe mode to do it. Thus make
notes of the INF (don't waste the paper printing ALL of it) and move them
while in safe mode. I've had good luck doing this for screwy drivers in the
past.

But make note of what was where before you moved them. It's possible for
any number of things to go wrong. Having the files still on disc will ease
recovering from a blue screen or similar disaster.
