Why? Doesn't it work?
Installing what from CD?
Why go to the CD? It is bound to be out of date.

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
Look for the model number on the label on the device.
That page will also have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist.
You may have done that already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear gave up on supplying paper manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.How about a detailed description of what you are trying to achieve?
As FURRYe38 put it "not much to go on".
Throwaway comments like "considering a deep dive into registry" may mean a lot to you, but everyone else is just left scratching their heads.
Start with a description of what problem you are trying to fix.
I am trying to install from cd. The program searches for all available connections repeatedly Finds them and then repeats the process as in a infinite loop. It will not complete the installation. when I have to end the app from task manager. I click the wifi symbol from the task bar and find my connection click it and it works.
PROBLEM- the connection is "open" and when I try to correct it to "secure" from settings the information disappears. and reverts back to "open".
im trying to install the wifi dongle A7000 on an old DELL COMPUTER WITH NO FACTORY INSTALLED WIFI
