Intel Usb 30 Extensible Host Controller Driver Windows 7 Error Download

According to Intel and Dell, by board is technically a 'desktop' board and they therefore do not support Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller drivers for Windows Server 2008 (R2 x64). I'm trying to find a workaround. I found an entry on someone who tried to tackle this, but I can't make his fix work for me. Below, I have copied both his entry, and my reply. I'm a loyal stackoverflow user, and hopefully the people here at serverfault can help me:

Thanks to JoeMiner , his process for the network drivers gave me the clues to figure out to get the USB3 drivers working.I have got the intel USB3 drivers working at full speed in win server 2008r2

you have to edit the following file :1. mup.xml in change the 'Windows7' to 'W2K8'2. in setup.if2 under [groups] line starting with 'HSCSDRIVER ' change the 'IsOS( ... )' entry to 'IsOS(WIN2008_R2,WIN2008_R2_MAXSP)'

inf filesfor all copy the content of the [Intel.NTAMD64.6.1] group to the [Intel.NTAMD64.6.2] group
driver folders. here i am not entirely sure which is correct so there are some double up's.
in the drivers folder copy the 'Win7' folder to 'win2008' , 'win2008_r2' and 'x64'
ie your drivers folder should now contain the 'win2008' , 'win2008_r2' and 'x64' folders and they contain contents of the win7 folder (the inf files should of already been fixed)

Run install , It should install properly and work now.You will have to rebootIf it doesn't work remove the intel usb3 controllers from device manager and get it to 'scan for hardware changes'

Good luck !!!

Thank you anyforumuser! A process for getting this driver installed was exactly what I needed.

However, I've hit a snag. I believe I've followed every step exactly as written, but I'm getting an error during installation. I get the message 'One or more files that are required for installation are either missing or corrupted. Setup will exit.' Behind the error, the 'Setup Progress' shows the current step as 'Copying File: C:Program Files (x86)IntelIntel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller DriverDriversiusb3xhc.man'. I've checked the installation files, and iusb3xhc.man seems to be a viable file in all of the Windows 2008 sub-directories of the Drivers folder. Therefore I don't see how the file could be missing and I doubt that it is corrupted, (although it does NOT exist in the DriversHCSwitch folder). I opened 'Setup.if2', and there are two aspects to the step of copying iusb3xhc.man that caught my eye. First, the steps immediately preceding are set to 'error=ignore'. If they hadn't completed successfully, this is the first step where we'd hear about it. Second, this is the first step where the relative path '%source%drivers%_os%%_ia%' is used. If I haven't named the Windows 2008 sub-directories correctly, I could see where things are fouling up.

In any event, if someone could take a look and make suggestions I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

Same issue here. Just replace '%_os%/%_ia%'(setup.if2) with 'win2008_r2/x64' or one of the other directories where the drivers are copied to. It worked fine for me.I'm not sure where _os is pointing to. 'set' shows that OS points to 'Windows_NT'. Rather then figuring out where _os is pointing to just replace the variables with fixed (but known) values.

In my case, I believe the problem is caused because the directory win2008_r2 is not the right one.
Instead, with the changes to the inf files. I installed the driver from the device manager pointing to the driver in win2008_r2/x64. It installed but returned also an Unknown device error. Did it again for the unknown device and it looks like it worked.

I found a Renesas driver using add hardware that worked for 2008 r2, I had to manually load the drivers for mine kind of like it was NT 4.0

I've been trying to install the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver (version 3.0.0.16 as supplied by the Asus web site) but it balks when it gets to the PCI bus. At this point the entire system freezes for about 30 seconds and then a generic message is returned saying the install failed and some devices were not installed. If I try to install the PCI bus driver manually via the Device Manager (updating from the stock Microsoft driver and pointing it to the directory where the Intel USB3 drivers reside) It fails saying 'The parameter is incorrect'. Something has occurred in this process though, because the Device Manager is now listing the driver as Intel, version 3.0.0.16. Rebooting at this stage causes a BSOD while loading windows, requiring a repair boot and System Restore to recover.

Searching the Intel web site for the same drivers (in case the Asus copy is corrupt) only returns drivers for Series 7 or Series 8 chipsets, with no specific mention of Series 9 (I have Z97).

Why am I trying to do this? All my chipset-controlled USB3 ports (including the motherboard headers) are only operating as USB2. I have two ports fed by an ASMedia controller and they seem OK, it's just the Intel ones. this means I can't get my Akasa card reader to work, as it uses the motherboard headers.

I've tried reinstalling the chipset drivers (also downloaded from the Asus web site) to no avail. Any attempt to dislodge the Microsoft driver in favour of the Intel one results in boot failure.

The motherboard is an Asus Z97-PRO(Wi-Fi ac). I'm sorry I can't provide any more technical information at present (working nights and my PC is about seventy miles away) but if you tell me what you need I'll be back in about twelve hours...

I have half an answer: I went into the BIOS and changed Intel xHCI Mode to Enabled instead of Smart Auto, and all my USB devices appear to be operating correctly now. The driver still fails to fully install though, failing at the PCI bus again (although without the freeze this time). Here's a screenshot of the error message, for what it's worth.

At least now I know my motherboard is not faulty, and everything works. Partially installed drivers always worry me though, in case they cause problems further down the line...

Try to disable xHCI mode on BIOS settings.

In the following reboot (better if you have an Internet connection) check if Windows installs correct drivers.
