WiFi-22.230.0-Driver64-Win10-Win11 1603 error

[Timotheus]

Hi,

I tried to install the WiFi-22.230.0-Driver64-Win10-Win11 through the intel driver and support assistant.
During installation a bluescreen appeared and the Notebook restarted.

Now the driver is not installed and everytime I try to install it, via the support assistant it gives me a 1603 error.
I also downloaded the WiFi-22.230.0-Driver64-Win10-Win11.exe from the Intel page and tried it installing with that.

However I see this error message, saying it failed, due to one or multiple problems.

When installing it via the command line and giving me a log file, the log file has this error:

I also already tried deinstalling the device/driver in the hardware manager, with no success.


What can I do now, to successfully install this driver?

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities. I am sorry to know that you are having issues with your wireless adapter.   

In order to better assist you, please provide the following:

3. Is this a laptop or desktop computer? 

4. What is the brand and model of your Wireless adapter?

5. What is the BIOS version?

6. What is the operating system installed, as well as the version and build?

Hello Timotheus, 

Thanks for the information provided. Error code 1603: This is a general error, it can be anything from an exception in code to a problem with the setup.xml. I recommended updating Windows and contacting the Computer's Original Equipment Manufacturer (Gigabyte) to review this further since this error could be linked to the operating system (OS).

Also, you can download the driver from Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software and Drivers for IT Admins and installed it on the Desktop. 

1. Go to the Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software and Drivers for IT Admins download page
2. Download the driver-only or Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software version 22.220.0 distribution package for your operating system (Windows 11 or Windows 10, 64-bit): https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/18231/intel-proset-wireless-software-and-drivers-for-it-admins.html
3. Once the download is complete, locate the downloaded file on your computer and extract it if necessary.
4. Double-click on the extracted file to begin the installation process.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
6. Once the installation is complete, restart your computer.

I used ATS57's steps to install the driver, that I downloaded on the site you provided.
It worked.

There are multiple files in the extracted folder and no .exe.
So there was no setup or anything in there, that I saw.
But the way with the device manager worked, when I look into the folder, where I extracted the files.

The intel driver assistant also show now new drivers right now.

Thank you all.

Installed by going into Device Manager and selecting the wireless device and updating the driver.  Thanks Deivid

Thanks for the update. Your approach worked. Just to be clear, however, I used the link at:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/18231/intel-proset-wireless-software-and-drivers-for-it-admins.html 

to download the drivers to a folder. (You download a zip file which you then extract and copy the driver files to some folder that you keep repeating to yourself the name of so that you can later navigate back to it.) You DO NOT re-download the installation file for this update, just the drivers themselves available at that link. 

Then I went to Device Manager, navigated to Network Adapters, left click on that item to expand it to show the list of network adapters, right clicked on the wireless adapter for my computer, Intel Wireless 6 AX200 160Mhz, and selected "update driver." I then selected "Browse My Computer" so that I could navigate to the folder the name of which I had been mumbling to myself for the past 5 minutes, opened that folder, and then clicked update. 

Miraculously for this "user error" prone person, that did the trick. 

I wish someone could answer the question of why the normal process kept giving us the error message. Sending us to the OEM is, in my experience, a cop out and almost never works. Nonetheless, this did update the driver. No more error messages. 

Thanks for the guidance, Deivid A and rkresha.
