Error Message " Unable to start Intel My WiFi Technology"

[herbolaryo]

Setup: Lenovo W520 on Windows 7 Pro

After Lenovo Software Update, the Intel WiDi was updated.  

Then I run the program " Intel WiDi". I received an Error Message " Unable to start Intel My WiFi Technology"

I try to troubleshoot and did the following

1. Uninstall WiDi in the "Control Panel". However, i received an error message from Windows Installer --"Error opening installation log file. Verify that the specified log file location exists and is writable"

Any suggestions on how to reinstall the Intel WiDi

Ditto w/ a Lenovo W530.

Even tried installing the latest Intel ProSet driver (15.1.1) and Widi app (3.1.29)

Intel really needs to come up w/ a better message that gives us a clue as to what is wrong...

Finally got it working.

Had to uninstall the proset driver (after downloading the latest of course) and widi, then reinstalled both.
So painful for a "consumer" technology :-P

What is the proset driver?? Can you be more precise?

Did resolve it also! But NOT with the LENOVO UPDATE!!!

Take a look at this Intel webpage:

http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wtech/iwd/sb/CS-031109.htm

it describes what we must do to get it running!

1. I did download the new PROSET WiFi and the WiDi driver

2. deinstall the WIDI and PROSET Wireless drivers from LENOVO

3. then intall the new drivers from INTEL in the order described above!

[jd21]

first confirm intel proset wireless software is installed. if yes, then proceed the steps below else install first,

goto

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intel\WirelessCommon

delete the two files ifrmewrk.exe & imfrmwrk.exe

next, re-install "intel proset wireless software" again without un-installing

from the three options(change, repair & remove) - select "repair"

after finishing installation don't forget to restart.

this procedure must work.

note : this is for win7.
