Modem on XP Clean Install

Message

I am trying to get the modem driver installed on XP fresh install on TP60.

The modem driver install keeps reporting "Driver Installation Failed: Could not find the device for this driver."

I have applied that MS' KB888111, High Def Audio Driver Package.

PC Doctor 5 can see the modem and successfully tests it!

I've looked thru threads in this forum on that issue but no resolution!

I have just done reinstall of XPSP2 again.

What I am missing?

I assume you are trying to install the following?

Modem driver for Windows 2000, XP, Vista (32 and 64bit) - ThinkPad R60, R60e, T60, T60p, X60, X60s, X60 Tablet, Z60m, Z60t, Z61e, Z61m, Z61p, Z61t

EDIT: You have to install: 888111 Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio class driver version 1.0a available for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows 2000 before installing the above driver.

Yes, that's one I am trying to install from.

Running setup.exe in C:\\DRIVERS\HDAMODEM\

That's exactly what I did. Still no go. I'm going bald soon.

Finally fixed the problem.

A file in KB888111 install was older than Windows' file! Seems that it will not copy a file that's older on PC.

In some way I got to load that file and it's now working.

I don't recall which file it was. I used this nLite software, basically I integrated KB888111 hotfix and when nLite asked me that one file on XP install set was newer than hotfix, I told nLite to replace it regardless. And then I used nLite created image to install XP. That's how I discovered the problem. Note that I used XP SP2 install files with nLite. can't say for pre SP2 install (SP1, etc)
