P45 Chipset Driver Installation Fails in Windows 7 x64

Greetings,

I am getting an error when I try to install the latest chipset drivers for my motherboard in Windows 7 x64 Business Edition. The error occurs immediately after the self-extracting executable finishes extracting and states, "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software. Setup will now exit." Oddly enough, the drivers from ASUS' website for my motherboard produce the exact same error.

The storage drivers from the same page for my chipset work fine.

System specifications:

ASUS P5Q Pro

Intel Q9450

Samsung Spinpoint F1

SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS

GeForce GTX260

Motherbord Specifications:

Driver I am trying to install:

Thanks

I am having the exact same problem, apparently it's pretty common on the P5Q Deluxe at least. Anyways I am able to install the driver via command prompt with the extension -overall. Is this an acceptable way to install the driver? SHould I be worried about this method of instalation?
