Well, all the other drivers installed just fine. It ran overnight doing the same thing--it's now been going nearly 12 hours. In Device Manager there is no SMBus Controller in the "Other Devices" section with a yellow question mark & exclamation point anymore, but there is a line for "SMBus Controller - 27DA" in the System Devices section. So that is good.
Any idea on what would be installed next if it were to somehow finish this step? Is there any harm in rebooting the system at this point before the installation has finished?
