Hi there,
I don't know if these are installing properly. They download and run fine, but after I click Next and so forth and they finish extracting the files the window just vanishes and nothing else happens. The mouse makes that "loading" kind of icon for a second or two, but that's it. I let this happen for both files, assumed they had installed, and rebooted.
Both unknown devices are still present in Device Manager.
Sorry for the trouble, let me know what to do next.

Thanks for all the help!
