    instead of running the 1.1MB installer file, download the other file. it's about 90MB, and it's the exact same file that your installer was trying to download.

    file name should look like "10-11_mobility_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc"

    the original installer file you tried is (i think) just a user-friendly version. i don't know why they would even provide a 1.1MB installer when all it will do is download and install the other file in the process.

    i don't think you'll have missed anything. i am assuming that you already have a previous driver installed (e.g. 10.8) before installing/updating to 10.11?
