How to Install the Network Driver after a fresh Windows 10 install on Venue
5130 32 bit
I'm posting this because it took me about 4 hours to figure it out...got no help from dell support chat.
I have an old Venue 11 32bit. I flashed BIOS to A17. Did clean install of Windows 10 from USB stick. Could not get the latest Network Driver (5130_Network_Driver_0WGYT_WN32_3.7.2.63715_A06.EXE) to install. Kept getting error:
“The installer can not run on this platform. Please select package for your operating system.”
No other driver available. What did work was using 7-Zip to unpack the .exe and then installing through the "Update Driver" button in Device Manager. Worked for both Wifi and Bluetooth. Hope this helps someone.
Thank you, your solution also worked for me, fixed both wifi and bluetooth which were unknown devices in the device manager. Like you say you have to manually install the drivers as both Window's and Dell's automatic solutions don't work.
a very big thank you
If anyone else updates a Dell Venue 5130 to Windows 10 and finds it virtually useless, I would recommend tethering the tablet to your phone and going to the Dell website and: 1) Download and install the bios 5130A20. Follow their instructions to install it 2) Download and install the Intel Atom Z3000 Chipset Driver from Dell. This should fix the touch screen and sound 3) Download 5130 Network Driver as described by loungesong. Once downloaded use the option to extract it rather than run. Then in device manager you will probably have two unknown devices. The one that has SDIO in its name is the wifi so manually update its driver using your extracted wifi driver and the other unknown device is the bluetooth so update its driver using the bluetooth driver. That should give you a serviceable tablet.
