Hello everyone,
My Specs via CPU-Z:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/n91q7yvdymw3gx5/BOSSTOP.txt?dl=0
This will be my first time posting on a forum, asking for assistance so bare with me here. I am having the most frustrating problem and can't, for the life of me, figure it out.
I tried to install the latest Nvidia driver for my GeForce 660M, which first uninstalls your current one, and it spit back this screen:
I then figured I had some sort of gunk built up in my Nvidia installation folders and cleared everything out. I used DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to remove everything including registry entries and all. After this I tried again and got the same result.
I then cleared everything again and tried manually installing the driver and got this error:
I cleared everything and tried starting in safe mode before attempting to install the driver. Nothing.
I noticed that I had an "important update" in my windows update tray, sure enough it was an update for Nvidia. I looked at my update history and this update has been failing over and over. I hit install and this is the error it gives me:
Here is where it gets odd.. After reading a ton of threads to figure out if this issue had been solved by other people.. I was encouraged to find quite a lot of people having the "Nvidia Installer Failed" issue and finding fixes for it! I was hopeful!... Tried everything I have come across (except clean install of windows.. which I am trying to avoid).
Things I have tried:
sfc/scannow - came back with an error and said to run DMIS.exe
ran DMIS.exe - came back with an error that said I needed to reboot to roll back (cod 307?)
deleted my windows update log folder and re-checked for updates afterwards
various other things...
CBS Log:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/au1qz6o53a7llql/CBS.log?dl=0
All the above didn't help at all, if I can provide any reports that might be helpful in troubleshooting I can gladly run the scans again and attach them.
The one thing that almost worked is this...
I clean uninstalled both my GPU's (Intel HD 4000 and the 660M) and restarted the comptuer. I then was able to manually install my 660M display driver only. After doing this I installed the Intel driver. There for a second I thought I was good.. but then launched a game and realized that the 660 wasn't being used (which resulted in unsatisfactory performance). I needed to install the whole Nvidia package that comes with the driver I thought.. so I attempted to install it only to have the same "Nvidia Installer Failed" happen.. which resulted in the successfully installed 660M driver being removed again.
Now I am back at square one, with no headway.
Hoping there is some super guru out there that can take one look at my problem and have a good idea what the issue is... Any help is greatly appreciated!
UPDATES:
Ran the installer in "log" mode and retrieved this log.. the "LOG.setup.exe" is the one with all the errors:

Tried using "PSexec" to run the installer remotely, same result
Forgot to mention that I have tried 3 different drivers (original manufacturer one, a middle of the road one and the latest one) all have the same response.
