Tips for reinstalling drivers after formatting a computer

Tips for reinstalling drivers after formatting a computer

After FORMATTING  a computer you will likely need to reinstall some drivers in order to regain full functionality of the computer. To check what drivers you need to reinstall, do the following:
XP
  1. Right click on “My Computer”
  2. Select “Properties”
  3. Click on the “Device Manager” button
Vista
  1. Right click on “Computer”
  2. Click on the “Device Manager” link, located in the left hand side tasks menu
Under Device Manager you will see a listing of drivers on your computer.  Look for anything that has a yellow question mark by it. A yellow question mark means that driver is missing.  Make note of all the drivers you will need to find. Next are steps to easily get all drivers.
1. Install the “ethernet controller” first. This is the driver that allows you to connect to the internet. If it is missing, you will need to download it on a different computer that is connected to the internet, then transfer the driver to the formatted computer and install it. To locate this driver, go do your computer manufacturer’s website, then search your computer’s make/model. There should be a section of drivers you can download on the manufacturer website. Be sure to download the drivers for the operating system you are using. Look for the ethernet controller driver (sometimes called a network driver), then save it on a USB flash drive or external hard drive. Next go to your formatted computer and install the driver. If you are still seeing a yellow question mark in Device Manager next to ethernet controller after installing the driver, you have not located the correct one for your computer. Go back to the manufacturer website and try finding a different driver.
2. Once you have the ethernet controller driver installed, you can do the rest of the work from the formatted computer. First, get all updates for your computer (windowsupdate.microsoft.com). Installing the latest updates will often update some of your missing drivers automatically for you.
3. Go to Device Manager and look for any yellow question marks. Right click on the item, then choose “update driver”. Let your computer automatically connect to the internet to search for the driver. You can usually install a couple of drivers this way.
4. Finally, if you have any remaining yellow question marks, you will need to go back to the computer manufacturer’s website and search for those specific drivers to download and install.
Note: You can download all drivers from the manufacturer’s website from the start, however I usually recommend doing this step last. The reason is that there are often several driver possibilities to download for each driver, and if you do not locate the correct one on the first try you can end up spending some frustrating time searching for the correct driver and are essentially taking a chance that you will get the correct one each time. Letting the computer automatically install drivers for you through updates can sometimes be easier in the long run.

Access denied Installer 3.1

Access denied Installer 3.1

Troubleshooting windows installer 3.1   KB893803v2 setup access is denied

 I had the same problem - I Repair-ed WinXP Pro using an intergrated SP2 CD, after which Windows Installer 3.1 wouldn't install, which means you can't get any updates.

Here's how I solved the problem:
Download  windoes Installer 3.1 v2 from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=889482fc-5f56...38-b838

You can try running it, but most probably will get an "Access denied" error and it will roll back the changes. If it installs fine, then you are set and don't need to do anything more, if not, look below.

Make sure Automatic Updates are turned off, or set them to "Notify me but don't automatically download or install them."
Also make sure Windows XP  CD is not inside  CD/DVD drive.

Check in the Services app (services.msc) that Windows Installer service isn't running, stop it if needed.

Open the X:\Windows\system32\dllcache\ folder (where X: is your system drive) and delete these three files (if they exist):
msi.dll
msihnd.dll
msiexec.exe

After that, from this Symantec article
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001112111324...?Open&a
do this:
On the Windows desktop, click Start > Run.
In the Open line, type cmd and then click OK.
At the command prompt, type the following, depending on your version of Windows, and then press Enter after each line.

cd \windows\system32
ren msi.dll msi.old
ren msihnd.dll msihnd.old
ren msiexec.exe msiexec.old
exit

(Notice that after each rename you will get a prompt from Windows that system files have been replaced, and it asks for the WinXP CD in order to restore them. Do NOT put the WinXP CD into the drive, click Cancel, then choose Yes in the other dialog box that appears.)

RESTART the computer.

Run the Windows Installer 3.1 EXE installer (downloaded in the beginning).
Follow the prompts to complete the installation, it will install fine.
Restart the computer.

You might get dialog boxes with errors about msi.dll missing.
I got such a dialog box from my anti-virus software.
Start the Command prompt (cmd) again, and rename the three files back.
Go to Windows Update. It will say it needs to install Windows Installer 3.1, and will say the installation failed, but it will actually succeed.
Do not restart the computer, click the link to Windows Update Home on the left to go back to the main Windows Update screen with the "Express" & "Custom" buttons.
Click the Express button, it should show you all post-SP2 updates (around 40-50 MBs). They should download quickly (if you are not on dial-up).
After the updates install, restart your computer.


You can now change the Auto Updates setting to the one you like.
To check if Windows Installer has been properly updated, follow this link
