Network Controller Driver Issue

I recently had to do a full restore on myAlienware M17x R3.  I used the proper installation order, and everything was going smoothly until it came time to install the WLAN 1501 driver . 

Like a few others I have seen, I had an issue because it does not automatically install. I went to the device manager, right clicked on Network controller, and was going to try and install it manually by selecting the install file from the folder. The problem is, when i go to browse for the file, the only thing that shows up on the list are the folder names, there are no files inside the folders to select.

I have tried re-extracting the files and restarting my computer, but I haven't been able to find any resources on this particular issue. 

Help would be much appreciated!

Dwhite_2006,

 

Did you install the chipset drivers first and install the drivers in the correct order? How to Download and Install Drivers in the Correct Order

 

The command center is last and needs downloaded from the Aliemware stickie.

 

Can you run Finding System Information REMOVE YOUR PRODUCT ID and REGISTERED OWNER and post the information back here.
