Intel Graphics install in wrong directory

Last response: in Windows 8
Share

Hello,
I have started to dual boot with Windows 7 and Windows 8. Everything works fine in windows 8, the drivers, everything is compatible.
C: is for Windows 7 and D: for Windows 8.

But,There is this one intel graphics driver i'm trying to install in D: (Windows 8), but it always ends up going to C: (Win7) instead. Unfortunately, i couldn't find any good google answer.

Is there anyway to fix this? It's really annoying that i get two black bars on the side of my games and can't configure my graphics for gaming. As an alternative i just use Windows 7 for now, but i'd like to use Windows 8 completely, or 'daily driver'.

Thanks.

Yes, i've tried that plenty of times, all the times the files just go to C:\

ok, so much for an "easy way". :( 

have you researched about changing the program default installation directory and are you comfortable with editing the registry?

also there is another suggestion of using the device manager to update the drivers by browsing to the W7 directory:

and under the 'Display Adapters' category, double-click on your particular graphics card. Go to the Driver tab and click the 'Update Driver' option, then select 'Install from a list or specific location' and click Next. Then select 'Don't search, I will choose the driver to install' and click Next. On the next screen click the 'Have Disk' button and Browse to the directory where the new Forceware driver files are located, and find the appropriate .INF file.


sorry for these guesses. i just can't believe after people using the dual boot method to try out W8 hasn't had this issue and can't provide any help :p

Here are my drivers. While it does say it works in vista the setup still launches fine, and it works in windows 7.
Scroll down to the intel driver and tell me what's wrong? i dont know what i'm doing wrong
