Would it show up in my uninstallation window? Because I had completely nothing in there, not even my drivers (Although I have my drivers now).

Drivers are listed in device manager not in installed programs!!

Sorry screenshot is in Dutch

Kaktussoft, Some drivers can be listed in the installed programs list. On this PC I can see my NVIDIA graphics driver, VIA sound driver, HP printer driver, etc.

Okay CosmicPoptart help me and my 3 brain cells understand. You have been asked for error codes you recieved and I don't see a reply.
You have been asked where you got your copy of Windows 7 and I don't see a reply.
Here is another question that will need answered.
After your clean install did you spend the time to download and install all of Windows 7 Updates?

Kaktussoft · 03 Jan 2013

In explorer goto C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET
rename assembly to assembly2 there.
Now try to install .NET 4

Works?

That's just an extra. Some drivers install configuration programs that are listed there. Or simply the uninstaller. A real driver doesn't do that!

What you mean is that they appear after running some setup.exe that installs a driver.

I didn't give the error codes because I've looked them all up on Google and they all lead back to the path of C:\Windows\Installer as I said before. I received my copy of Windows 7 from here. While following the tutorial here. And I did not download any of the updates yet, but I am now.

Thank you for your reply. The updates just might help a bunch.

Thank you, too. The updates did help. I'm just baffled by one thing. When Windows would download the update and install them in Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Update, it would say they failed to install. Then when I would restart my computer, it would install them, before the log in screen, without any trouble. Why is that?

Many Windows Updates work in that fashion. They complete their install on a reboot. My method is always do reboots after a large install whether Windows requests it or not. While the process is being done, (activity hard drive light) is still busy I don't do anything. No keyboard or mouse inputs what so ever. I do it this way for a reason. When downloading and installing Windows Updates any interference of any kind might screw up a update install. I know it shouldn't but for a few seconds of waiting could be helpful. If a screw up happens it is a bag of worms to fix.
