Havingsome issues when trying to install the drivers for the USB wifi adapter in that it keeps saying i already have drivers installed (im assuming the windows 10 ones) and that i have to uninstall these before i can install the TP-Link ones.

It is worth mentioning that Intel does not support wireless integrations (installing a different wireless adapter into your system/laptop). We recommend you speak to the Manufacturer of your equipment for support on wireless integrations and replacement parts to ensure compliance with the regulatory requirements of your country and support. It is important to check for compatibility with the System Manufacturer, as there could be certain cards that will not work with the system.


Besides, Intel doesn't support and is not aware of the support or drivers of third-party products such as the Archer wireless cards. If you need assistance with this product specifically, contact the proper manufacturer of this card.


Thanks for your response! Yes I removed the old wireless card and disconnected the connector, inserted the new wireless card into the same PCIe slot and plugged the new card into the motherboard. The old card is no longer in the computer.



@Jocelyn_Intel Thanks for your response as well! That is all good information to know. To be honest I did think it was weird that their driver pack brought me to the intel site. The card came with a CD installation, but my PC does not have a CD rom so their instructions send you to their home page, and when you click on the driver download for that model card it redirects to the intel driver download site. I guess my whole problem is that I'm weirded out that its using the intel drivers, that it works with different intel drivers than the ones it had me download, and mainly that my PC isn't recognizing it as the card that it is but as an intel wireless Adapter. All very strange, but I appreciate the info.



@Podaen Thanks for that link! I will try that. Those steps look very similar to what I have tried a couple times except for using a different PCIe slot and trying to show hidden devices, I'll have to look around for that, but I thought I could see my wireless adapter, and I was selecting uninstall while also checking "remove associated drivers" and then when I was reinstalling the drivers it was showing up as the same wireless adapter rather than the new one of the different brand. But anyway thanks a bunch for taking time to post that help, much appreciated!

So what I tried was redownloading it from -us/sql/connect/oledb/download-oledb-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver15 and running the .msi file. It runs fine and gives no errors but it still does not fix the issue. It still will not find the file and without it I cannot install the program. Or am I using the wrong driver for it? The other thing I have tried is when clicking on the .msi it gives me the option to remove or repair. I've done both as well (reinstalling after remove) but it still gives me the error. I'm very very lost at this point. Could anyone possibly help?


I was getting similar error when trying to install SQL Server 2022 developer edition. When I tried to install OLEDB driver, It gave me error that it needs VC++ redistributable. I tried to install X64 version VC++ redistributable ( _redist.x64.exe) but was still getting same error. Finally, this error was fixed when I installed 32 bit version using _redist.x86.exe


Solution: The OLEDB and ODBC drivers were already installed on the server so I first uninstalled them, then I was able to install SQL Server 2019 Developer Edition.So we always have to uninstall the existing OLEDB and ODBC drivers first because the SQL Server setup installs the OLEDB and ODBC drivers itself.


I deleted ALL "Microsoft ODBC Driver"s and "Microsoft ODBC Driver"s and then the new install of SQL Server worked. After installing it, I had 2 new "OBCD Driver"s and one "OLD DB Driver for SQL Server" in Programs and Features. And note, after the install, I now had about 25 different "Microsoft SQL Server"s installed,from "2008" to "2022".


There is a connect.dat file in the program file with a line saying "OLE DB Provider = MSDASQL". Changing this entry alters the error message I get to "Provider cannot be found, it may not be properly installed".


It is important that your ODBC driver's executable and linking format (ELF) is the same as your application. In other words, you need a 32-bit driver for a 32-bit application or a 64-bit driver for a 64-bit application.


If these do not match, it is possible to configure a DSN for a 32-bit driver and when you attempt to use that DSN in a 64-bit application, the DSN won't be found because the registry holds DSN information in different places depending on ELF (32-bit versus 64-bit).


Be sure you are using the correct ODBC Administrator tool. On 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, the default ODBC Administrator tool is in c:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe. However, on a 64-bit Windows machine, the default is the 64-bit version. If you need to use the 32-bit ODBC Administrator tool on a 64-bit Windows system, you will need to run the one found here: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe


Where I see this tripping people up is when a user uses the default 64-bit ODBC Administrator to configure a DSN; thinking it is for a 32-bit DSN. Then when the 32-bit application attempts to connect using that DSN, "Data source not found..." occurs.


This was not the first time I have come to this page searching for the same error message. Unfortunately, Microsoft error messages are vague and often several different issues will cause the same error message, hence why there are so many answers here.


The problem is that when I am opening an ADODB connection in VBA, and I use this same string, it will produce the "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified" error.


Following the instructions here =27099554 I had to install the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable before I had the Excel driver installed to use the DSN-less connection I wanted to use from perl.


I had the installed drivers listed in odbcinst -q -d, and could connect manually but not through R's odbc::dbConnect(). Turns out I forgot a semicolon in the connection string: .connection_string = "TrustServerCertificate=yes;"


I am very confused by the different CUDA versions shown by running which nvcc and nvidia-smi. I have both cuda9.2 and cuda10 installed on my ubuntu 16.04. Now I set the PATH to point to cuda9.2. So when I run


So am I using cuda9.2 as which nvcc suggests, or am I using cuda10 as nvidia-smi suggests? I saw this answer but it does not provide direct answer to the confusion, it just asks us to reinstall the CUDA Toolkit, which I already did.


In any event, the (installed) driver API version may not always match the (installed) runtime API version, especially if you install a GPU driver independently from installing CUDA (i.e. the CUDA toolkit).


Recently (somewhere between 410.48 and 410.73 driver version on linux) the powers-that-be at NVIDIA decided to add reporting of the CUDA Driver API version installed by the driver, in the output from nvidia-smi.


nvcc, the CUDA compiler-driver tool that is installed with the CUDA toolkit, will always report the CUDA runtime version that it was built to recognize. It doesn't know anything about what driver version is installed, or even if a GPU driver is installed.


If you are wondering why nvcc -V displays a version of CUDA you weren't expecting (e.g. it displays a version other than the one you think you installed) or doesn't display anything at all, version wise, it may be because you haven't followed the mandatory instructions in step 7 (prior to CUDA 11) (or step 6 in the CUDA 11 linux install guide) of the cuda linux install guide


Note that although this question mostly has linux in view, the same concepts apply to windows CUDA installs. The driver has a CUDA driver version associated with it (which can be queried with nvidia-smi, for example). The CUDA runtime also has a CUDA runtime version associated with it. The two will not necessarily match in all cases.


In most cases, if nvidia-smi reports a CUDA version that is numerically equal to or higher than the one reported by nvcc -V, this is not a cause for concern. That is a defined compatibility path in CUDA (newer drivers/driver API support "older" CUDA toolkits/runtime API). For example if nvidia-smi reports CUDA 10.2, and nvcc -V reports CUDA 10.1, that is generally not cause for concern. It should just work, and it does not necessarily mean that you "actually installed CUDA 10.2 when you meant to install CUDA 10.1"


If nvcc command doesn't report anything at all (e.g. Command 'nvcc' not found...) or if it reports an unexpected CUDA version, this may also be due to an incorrect CUDA install, i.e the mandatory steps mentioned above were not performed correctly. You can start to figure this out by using a linux utility like find or locate (use man pages to learn how, please) to find your nvcc executable. Assuming there is only one, the path to it can then be used to fix your PATH environment variable. The CUDA linux install guide also explains how to set this. You may need to adjust the CUDA version in the PATH variable to match your actual CUDA version desired/installed. It's also possible that you have not installed the CUDA toolkit at all (nvcc is provided via a CUDA toolkit install, not by a GPU driver install alone.)


Similarly, when using docker, the nvidia-smi command will generally report the driver version installed on the base machine, whereas other version methods like nvcc --version will report the CUDA version installed inside the docker container.
