I am also having problems with installations. I try following step by step instructions and that doesn't seem to pan out. I am trying to get my wireless card to work in my laptop. I was told I needed the latest version of wlan. I got it and tried installing according to the instructions. Every step of the way it seems the files i needed from folders wasn't were the instructions said and I had to find them. I thought I did but in the end I got an error for the install. Oh well, I know I'm thick headed but I'll keep plugging along. Here is where all I went with the install. Good luck to you.
