If you have downloaded a newer version of an Intel driver and are trying to install it on your Windows 10 system in order to update the driver, the Intel software installer generates an error message Unable to parse setup.xml, this post may be able to guide you.
Intel Software Installer – Unable to parse setup.xml
This error can occur when you are trying to perform a silent, unattended installation – but it can also appear in other circumstances.
Here are some things you can try to resolve the problem.
1]Update the driver using Device Manager
Use Device Manager to update the driver and see if it works for you.
2]Uninstall and then reinstall the driver
Download the latest driver configuration file from Intel.com and save it to your computer.
Then uninstall the affected driver from your system.
Restart your computer, and then run the downloaded installation file to install the driver.
3]Use Intel Driver & Support Assistant
Intel Driver & Support Assistant automatically updates or installs the drivers for your computer. This utility keeps your system up to date. It detects driver updates relevant to your computer, then helps you install them quickly and easily.
4]For IT administrators
If you are performing a silent, unattended installation, you need to check if you are using the right arguments.
If using the setup.xml file does not work, IT administrators can use the Microsoft Windows Installer package. Details on this can be found here at Intel.com.
