    extract the files in the downloaded exe to a separate folder.It is a self extracting archive. Try the setup.exe file in the newly created folder.

    Not to beat a dead horse but let's go through the steps to get it working under windows 7 one more time.
    Save the driver to hard drive.
    Right click on driver and go to properties .
    Click on compatibly and change to Vista.
    Now go down and click run as administrator.
    Click apply and the ok.
    Now when installing the driver you need to not just open it but you need to right click on it again and click run as administrator.
