Intel Wi-Fi Driver Driver 23.120.0 İnstallation Error

[Darth_Vader]

Hello, I have INTEL Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160 Hz hardware. Unfortunately, the latest driver version gives an installation error, but there is no error in the previous version. I did some research on the internet, some say to try directly through IT Administrators. I wonder if there is another way to solve this problem other than IT and what is the normal difference with IT? Do you plan to fix the installation in the next version or this version?

(The system interface I use is Turkish, I translated it to English on the internet for you.)

Hello Darth_Vader,

It seems that you're facing installation issues with the latest driver 23.120.0. To effectively help you with this, please share the information below.

1. Are you having any issues with the previous driver? What made you do the update?

2. Are you using a laptop or desktop system?

3. Is this the original adapter that came pre-installed in your system, or have you changed/installed a new adapter recently?

4. What is your OS?

I look forward to your response.

Best regards,

1) No, there was no problem in previous versions, only in 23.120.0 version.
2) I am using a laptop
3) No, I have never changed it, in fact, it was never touched when I bought the laptop.
4) My OS: Windows 10 22H2 (64-Bit)

Hello Darth_Vader,

Thank you for sharing this information.

You mentioned that you are using a laptop, please be informed that product you are reporting is an OEM original equipment manufacturer device. Kindly take into consideration that our support may be limited since we are not familiar with the technology, settings and customizations that the OEM has designed on your system, However I will do my best to assist you with your concern.

Could you please share the full model of the laptop? Additionally, we recommend using the drivers from the OEM as it's already customized for your device. Have you tried using drivers from the OEM? Are you getting the same error message?

I hope to hear from you soon.

Best regards,

So, is it a problem if I install the IT driver instead of the normal driver installation and what is the difference between the normal installation file and the IT driver file?

[n_scott_pearson]

It may be that the installer has a bug and is attempting to update something that it hasn't established permission for. Have you tried simply running the installer executable As-Administrator? That is, right-click on the installation executable and select Run as Administrator. If you do this and the failure doesn't occur, then you will know that this bug is present.

If it concerns you that an issue like this exists and you don't want to be installing this this way, you can always uninstall it after trying. Otherwise, you simply wait for a new version to be released.

Hope this helps,

...S

[Darth_Vader]

As you mentioned, it doesn't work even if I run it with administrator, I will wait for the next version as you said.

use the unpacked IT/PROset files to install them manually using device manager setup.

Use manual installer[PROset] and device manager to install the update, the setup installer is broken[error code 1607, meaning issue with install shield], it tries to find setup.xml in temp folder and it can't find it. 

I've attached the log, because somehow the older post got deleted with log in the message.

Hello Darth_Vader,

After review, I would like to inform you to try and manually install the IT Administrator driver or use the driver from the OEM in case the issue persists on the IT Administrator driver. 

If you have other questions or concerns, please let me know.
