Driver won't install: "Required files are missing"

[photonherder]

Error is "Required files are missing".

Asus motherboard Z9PE-D8 WS

It's a fresh Windows 7 install. 64 bit Ultimate.

When I install Windows, it correctly identifies the card as an Nvidia Quadro 600. I want the control panel, and the latest drivers, so I go to the Nvidia website, download, and run the install. A few seconds later it gives the "Required files are missing". I tried older drivers from the Nvidia site, and the ones from the PNY website. Same problem every time.

I've tried uninstalling all Nvidia drivers first. Same result.

No idea what's wrong.... Very frustrating...

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Have you tried the install in safe mode?

did you install the intel chipset drivers first then reboot??

if the mb chipset drivers are not installed first crazys things can happen.
