prompt for system files not found when updating drivers manually
cause of the problem:
we can open C:\Windows\inf\setupapi.dev to open the hardware installation log. Finding the last record, we will find the following error:
sto:copying driver package files to ' c:\users\admini~1\appdata\local\temp\{7ff41925-97db-1c6a-d5b E-311dd1322b22} '.
inf:opened inf: ' D:\arduino-1.0.2\drivers\arduino uno.inf ' ([strings])

This section of the record means you can't find C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\mdmcpq.inf_amd64_dae08984c2c12d19\. Mdmcpq.inf this file.
So what is the reason for the loss of the file, after a search, found that some of the lite version of the Windows system to reduce the file, which is some users to the solution of the re-installation of the reason.
Well, now that we've located the missing file, we'll just fill it up.
Workaround:
1. Download the compressed package
Http://www.driversguru.com/driverfile-mdmcpq.inf_amd64_neutral_fbc4a14a6a13d0c8.zip.html
2. Extract the compressed package directly to the C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\ path.
(Note: If you follow this method to the last step, still error, you may need to change the "mdmcpq.inf_amd64_neutral_xxxx" the name of this folder, the name of the XXXX is replaced with the name of the folder prompted in the error log, How to find this log file has been mentioned in the problem analysis, very simple. )
3. Reinstall the driver, installation method on-line detailed introduction, I here simply give you:
(1) Connect the Arduino to the USB, this time may prompt the device does not install correctly;
(2) in the "Device Manager" Find Arduino, right click, select "Update Driver";
(3) Locate the drivers directory in the directory where you downloaded the Arduino Developer tool, and this directory D:\arduino-1.0.2\drivers in My computer;
(4) Click Next, the end will prompt installation success!
