Solved Can't get wifi driver to work on Asus K55A laptop

[willpropropro]

So I wanted to restore my PC by down grading from win8 to win7 ( I've done that many times )
but I never use the same .iso file, and this time, when I download the proper file to get my wifi working ( I'm using an asus k55a ) it unfortunately doesn't work.

It says "The installation XML file is either missing or corrupted. The setup application will exit! "
I've searched and I couldn't find any help to get this problem gone so I decided to go back to window 8, but I'm not able to boot from any .iso file, neither in window7
For some reasons I can only boot from DVD/CD but when I get to boot nothing happen ...

So I'm a bit stuck here, if someone could give me any advice that would be much appreciated,

regards, william.

You dloaded the driver directly from Asus and it still says it`s corrupted ?

 

[willpropropro]

Yes.
There is the link for my laptop:
ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download K55A
Still says the file is corrupted.

Hi William ... Are you looking for a Wireless Driver for Windows 7 or Windows 8 ?


Do you know which Wireless card you System has ? ...

 

[willpropropro]

Hello Maxie, I am actually on window 7.
For the wireless card, I am not sure.

 

[maxie]

Okay Have you Installed the Chipset Driver from the Asus Website ? ...

 

[willpropropro]

No, I only downloaded the wireless drivers

 

[maxie]

Install the Chipset Driver reboot your Computer ...

Select the Wireless Card from the Device Manager ...


Right click select Property's /Details Tab ... Post any Information you see there ...

 

[willpropropro]

So I downloaded the chipset drivers and neither 64 bit and 32 bit are working,
a message appears when I launch the setup:
This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software. Setup will exit.

And when I get to my device manager, I cannot see any wireless driver there, it's like if it was deleted of something.

Hum ok so I was installing window 7 using a DVD and an error appeared like Window can't install the files, its says it might be corrupted or missing. I know I've already had this problem in the past but I can't remember what I did, here is a screenshot, it's in french but it might help ...

Error code 0x80070017 usually refers to bad media...

Seems you need to Download again and follow the Steps for the Clean Install ...

 

[willpropropro]

I will try to use the USB method, and see if that works.

 

[maxie]

Good idea

There is something that I don't understand, how do I boot from USB ? Do I need to go to my desktop and open the setup.exe or do I boot from the bios ?
In each case, can you explain to me how because I'm a bit stuck now, I can't get to my desktop because it automatically want to boot from DVD even if I change my boot options...

 

[maxie]

You need to change the Settings in the BIOS to boot from the USB

 

[willpropropro]

How does this guy get Window boot manager in his bios ?
He's not really clear and I can't get how he did that.
Only thing I can boot from is TSSTCORP CDDVDW SN-208BB and ST750LM022 HN-M750MBB

In the BIOS go to Security then Secure Boot Control and Disable ...

Then Boot configuration Launch CSM and set to Enable Save and exit ..

Boot back into the BIOS and change the setting to USB
