      I'm trying to get some drivers to install. They are for getting my Rock Band guitar controller to work on a game called Frets on Fire for computer. I finally found the driver(The person said it worked for the Guitar Hero controller, so I'm going to assume it will work for RB as well).
      The problem is, when I try to install the .exe, a message box titled "Setup Error" pops up saying "installation did not complete". No more information is given.

    Is there a way to go into the .exe file and manually extract the files? Thanks for the help.

    By the way, here is a link:

    UPDATE: I manged to extract all of the files in the .exe, but now I don't know where they would normally go :(

    Do you have any errors listed in Device Manager?
