   Check:   
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\   
   and look for the key "SourcePath".   
   Make sure the path is correctly pointing towards your CD-ROM drive and the   
   relative path into the directory with the .CAB install-files is the right   
   one.   
   Also check HKEY_CURRENT_USER\InstallLocationsMRU\ to review and/or change   
   any install-paths to the applicable driver-directories.
