What network card is it? If it is a PCI Wireless Network card, try this:

Uninstall the Wireless Network Card softare/drivers from Add/Remove
Programs in the Control Panel.

Open Device Manager, find it, right click on it, and uninstall it.

Open Regedit and navigate to this:

HKLM-System-CCS-Enum-PCI

Now delete whatever Ven_Xxxx folder that contains the information about
your Wireless PCI Card.

Now Reboot and try installing the software again ;)
