Data is invalid while trying to install drivers on TP-LINK TL-WN821N  

Hey everyone, I bought the TP-LINK TL-WN821N Wireless USB Adapter as the built in WLAN module on my computer malfunctioned. Now when i tried to install the drivers provided in the disk, Windows keeps installing it's own drivers. I managed to uninstall Windows drivers and manually pinpoint the correct drivers for the Wireless USB adapter. Now it keeps saying that the data is invalid halfway through the installation of drivers. Please help!

Hi which drivers you installing ?

Those drivers are from the CD provided in the package that i bought.

Yep, I went to the manufacturer's website and downloaded the drivers and the contents inside were pretty much the same as provided in the CD. Both resulted that the data was invalid or if i allowed windows update to automatically install drivers, it will insist that the best drivers are already installed.

Yep, there were some updates but for some reason, 2 of the updates failed to install. Apparently there was this error 800B0100. Also, I find Windows update annoying too as everytime when I'm shutting down my computer there will be updates installing before it shut down. I had to hide those updates to stop it from trying to install the same updates again everytime i shut down my computer.

I downloaded the FIX IT tool and went ahead to troubleshoot it. Unfortunately, after troubleshooting, the error was still present.
