Looks like you missed the word Online in the command where you got the error ;).

 

Copy/paste the following into the elevated command-prompt:

DISM /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:"C:\Users\MainUser\Desktop\200041467_832ae88e046914d9d77c4db5f5dfd163e876984b"

 

Let me know how that goes

Ah, that is a problem. Sorry about that.

 

However, with the all the right input, there's still a problem. First, was I supposed to run the full zip file or the netrtwlane file only? Either way, I tried both and still got errors. I got an error 2 and an error 87.

 

I've attached a picture.

 

Thank you!

The first error, error 2 is showing that it wasn't able to find .cab file. You only need to do the command on the .cab file, not the contents inside the folder. Could you try re-downloading the file and moving it over to the desktop, and trying the command again? You can just leave the .cab file as is once it's on your desktop, you don't need to unzip anything before the command prompt step.

 

If that doesn't work, then...

 

1. On the computer with internet problems, move FRST from the downloads folder to the desktop, then open the tool

2. Copy the following text and paste it into a notepad document, naming it: "fixlist" (without the quotes):

start::

FilesInDirectory: C:\Users\MainUser\Desktop\*.cab

end::

3. Transfer the notepad file to the desktop where FRST is located

4. In FRST, press Fix, and copy/paste the resulting log in your next reply.

Hey Joe -

 

Still no luck on the command prompt - I was still getting error 87.

 

I did the second option and here is the fixlog from FRST

 

Thank you,

Hi Mike,

 

Let's try it this way...

 

Step 1 of 1: Device Manager on Problem Computer
1. Extract the cab file to a directory (your desktop) using winrar or other extraction tool (create a new directory)
2. Right-click the Start button, then select Device Manager from the context menu.
3. Under Network adapters, search for Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11 bgn Wi-Fi Adapter. Right-click and click on "Update"
3. Browse and select the folder where you have extracted the cab file
4. Install the driver
 
Let me know if that works

Hi Joe -

newrtq

A few things: I did what you said and when I tried to update the driver software, I got a message that read:

 

rtwland

"The best driver software for your device is already installed"

 

and under that it read "Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date"

 

However, a few things I've noticed. After extracting the files I noticed that there isn't anything that reads .cab - the closest I've got it one that reads "netrtwlane.cat" - a security catalog file and the other four icons I get from extracting are:

netrtwland.inf

rtldata.txt

Rtlihvs.dll

rtlwlane.sys

 

Also, since the file was on my desktop, that's where I tried to open and run the update from. I don't know how to actually created a new directory - unless just extracting the files created a new directory

 

Sorry and thank you

One more thing!

 

I thought maybe the file needed to be unzipped with WinZip so I downloaded it on my good computer and put it on the one we're working on and when I tried to install WinZip I got an error that read:

 

We encountered a problem while installing. Please contact Technical Support and mention error code %d

 

There's nothing I can do to fix that (I don't think since I can't get internet on the bad computer...

Hey Mike, 

However, a few things I've noticed. After extracting the files I noticed that there isn't anything that reads .cab - the closest I've got it one that reads "netrtwlane.cat" - a security catalog file and the other four icons I get from extracting are:
 
netrtwland.inf
rtldata.txt
Rtlihvs.dll
rtlwlane.sys

The file with that long string of numbers is the .cab file, and it contains those 4 files above. 

 

I"m going to ask for assistance on this one, not sure why the driver doesn't want to install.

NOTE 1. Disable your antivirus program before running Windows Repair by following the instructions here.
