Hello Larry,

Thank you for posting your question on Microsoft community.

I would like to know some information about the issue so that we could help you better.

Is the issue specific to driver software?

I appreciate you for providing details about the issue.

This issue may occur either due to corrupt or missing Windows files.

I would suggest you to run this Microsoft fixit and check.

Refer:

Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall

It automatically repairs issues that block program installation or removal.

Please also run system file checker(SFC) and see if it helps.

Refer:

Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833

System file checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

Note: It may ask for Windows installation DVD to fix and to enable SFC to make more than minor repairs. Some files

saved on your computer might get deleted when fixing corrupted files.

I hope this information helps.

Please do let us know if you need any further assistance.

Thank you
