I am updating an old Dell XPS 420 up to win 7 x64 and according to online manuals etc it's based on a X38 Express chipset, i have grabbed the latest version and it comes up at the end with an error saying "Unknown Error", in a nutshell it fails to install.
So i thought about going back a few versions and trying them one by one but for the life of me i can't find anywhere that has a list of old software, so can anyone shed some light on where i may be able to find this software?
To give you a bit more info so you may be able to see the problem i have tried the latest version 10.1.1.42 and here is the log from that install.
