data is invalid

can someone please tell me what it means because no matter

It sounds like you haven't extracted the driver properly and windows is
finding the archive not the driver itself. If the driver file is an exe or a
zip extract it to a folder and try installing the hardware again, pointing
to the folder when asked. If the exe file is a program double click it will
start the instalation. Follow the screen prompts to instal.
