Microsoft Common Controller (Xbox 360 Wired Controller)

[Corrupted]

This is quite entertaining but its been wringing my dry for the past few days with hours on end.

 

First i'll present my computer information:

 

Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2

Pentium 4 2.3GHz

1GB of RAM

 

I've been trying to link my Xbox360 wired controller from my Xbox360 system to my pc and i can't get anything to work at all.

 

I've downloaded the Microsoft Common Controller 32-bit program and tried running it, keeps saying "installation not complete", and i've also tried running it in safe mode, still the same. I even tried opening it up with winRAR and running the update.exe and it still says the same exact thing.

 

Also i'm wondering how i could get it to put the driver for the controller.

 

The programs I have are:Microsoft Common Controller 32bit, XBCDv107, XBCDv100, Xpadder 4, Xbox360_32Eng, XBOX360ENG

 

I've tried checking to see if Game Controllers also detects it by selecting the Microsoft Xbox 360 Wired Controller and it says its not connected.

 

I've searched and searched for some good advice or help, and it doesn't seem that any of it works for me.

 

If you can help me and guide me through getting this controller functioning properly i'd be of eternal thanks to you.

I've installed a few controllers on different versions of XP.

 

Whenever I installed a controller I went straight to get the XBOX360_32Eng.exe. I never had to touch their Common Controller program.

 

And I assume you've beaten very little help out of google... like I just did. The only thing I can think of is that instead of running the "update.exe" you extracted from your CommonController32bit install "update.inf" (as taken from the last post here)

 

• Get a program such as WinRAR,
  
• Open the "Microsoft Common Controller 32bit.exe" installer with it,
  
• Manually extract all the contents,
  
• Enter the folder called 'update',
  
• Right click on 'update.inf' and choose 'install'.
  

For me, add to this: Open device manager, choose "have disk" and select the xnacc.inf file from the extracted directory and it worked, just installing inf alone does not.

Hope it helps some.
