Unable to install USB 3.0 drivers  

I'm unable to install usb 3.0 drivers for my usb 3.0 card on my computer. I tried the zip file found here USB3_WIN7_2021. Those told that that it isn't applicable to my system. I also tried from the intel site (Access Denied) which is what I believed I installed previously on a virtual machine. I get the error message "The procedure entry point setdefaultdlldirectories couldn't be located in the dynamic link library kernal32.dll." I also tried a manual install from device manager and it said no drivers found. What's wrong?

Does anyone know?

Is the installation SP1 ?

I wasn't but I am now and it still won't install but I was able to install the from the XHCI folder manually. Now I have USB xHCI compliant host controller under the USB section in device manager. Does that mean that I'm good to go?

the driverframework update is needed.

Ok, are you referring to intel(r)_usb_3.0_extensible_host_controller_driver_5.0.4.43_v2 and if so how do I get it installed?

windows6.1-kb2864202-x64.msu

Install the update, then install the drivers. It is all in the zip.
You could use dism++ to do it.

That one tells me that it isn't applicable to my computer. Why?

Can anyone help?

Not applicable might mean you already have the driverframework update. We dont know what you have done. You might have installed sp0 or you might have installed using media that already included sp1. or you might have used installation media that already had sp1 and some other updates included.

Instead of wasting time, I suggest you get clean installation media that already includes sp1. Then update it using this

Update your Win 7 installation media

then do a clean install
