If it is a executive file, you can install it by simply double clicking the file. If it is a zip file and you can not find a installer in the archive, you can install the driver by following instruments below: 1. Go to Control Panel and open Device Manager. Find the device that your are trying to install a driver.

I keep getting: This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software. Setup will exit. I am trying to install from a disc that I burned directly from the Dell site, using my PC's serial number. File is: Intel AMT-HECI_A02_R255437.
When the files unzip (they are unzipping successfully), are they supposed to install automatically? Or do I have to find them on my computer? If the latter, I can not find a place where I install the drivers individually.
I have tried re-installing Windows 2-3 times, to see if that should clear things up. It doesn't. Sometimes, when I try to install windows, I get the error message: nvrd32.sys not found. Setup will exit. So I try again to re-install, and the error message does not show.
Is there a file that I must install before the chipset drivers?
Someone told me the computer is looking for my video card, which I took out. Why/how could it be doing that, when I just did a fresh install? I see no video device listed in DOS.
I know I have a lot of questions, which may or may not be important, but if anybody could help me get any closer to getting these chipset driver package to install, that would be great. I'm about to throw the computer out, because I have no idea what the problem is and I just spent $120.00 on a 'technician' who came here and was absolutely clueless.

  1. Restart your computer if you haven't done so already.
    1. There is always the slim chance that the Code 28 error you're seeing in Device Manager was caused by a fluke with Device Manager or in your BIOS. If that's the case, a reboot might fix the Code 28.
  2. Did you install a device or make a change in Device Manager just before you noticed the Code 28? If so, it's very possible that the change you made caused the Code 28 error.
    1. Undo the change, restart your PC, and then check again for the Code 28 error
    2. Depending on the changes you made, some solutions might include removing or re-configuring the newly installed device
  3. Rolling back the driver to the version prior to your update
  4. Using System Restore to undo recent Device Manager changes
  1. Update the drivers for the device. Installing the latest manufacturer supplied drivers for a device with the Code 28 error is the most likely solution to the problem.
    1. Make sure you install the drivers for the correct operating system. For example, if you're using Windows 10 64-bit, install the drivers designed for that specific version of Windows. Many Code 28 errors are caused by attempting to install the wrong drivers for a device. One way to be sure you're getting the right driver is to use a free driver updater tool.
    2. If the drivers won't update, try disabling your antivirus software during the update process. Sometimes these programs misinterpret your driver updating as malicious and block it.
  2. Install the latest Windows service pack. Microsoft regularly releases service packs and other patches for their operating systems, one of which may contain a fix for the cause of the Code 28 error.
    1. We know for sure that certain service packs for Windows Vista and Windows 2000 have contained specific fixes for some instances of the Code 28 error in Device Manager.
  1. Replace the hardware. As a last resort, you may need to replace the hardware that has the Code 28 error.
    1. It's also possible that the device is not compatible with this version of Windows. You can check the Windows HCL to be sure.

If you still think there is still a software/operating system component to this Code 28 error, you could try a repair install of Windows. If that doesn't work, try a clean install of Windows. We don't recommend doing either of those more drastic options before you try replacing the hardware, but you may have to if you're out of other options.
