    A windows pc shouldn't let you install mac drivers. 

    What pc/laptop do you have? 

    What device are you trying to install?

        what is this custom built pc? 

        Is it running windows? 

        is it a hackintosh? 

        Is it running linux? 

         

        You didn't give a whole lot more info. 

        And what errors is it giving you when you try to install the drivers? 

        Details/screen snips all help to figure out whats going on. We can't help with limited info
