Manual installation of Xbox 360 Receiver Drivers.

This documentation is to provide a manual install of how to install the Xbox 360 receiver drivers without ever having to install them onto your computer.

Download the driver we will be using for this tutorial.

This archive which is approximately 8Mb in size contains both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the Xbox 360 receiver driver. Click here to download the archive or click on the icon to the right of this paragraph to begin.

Notes about driver modification.

The archives were changed from a .zip file to a .7z or 7-zip file. Also, all versions of the Xbox driver has been consolidated into a single 7-zip archive as an all-in-one download solution. All procedures remain the same as you can extract with WinRAR down below.

Extract files:

The first thing you will want to do is get a copy of WinRAR or 7-Zip . Basically any package that is capable of extracting 7-zip files. (if you downloaded the .EXE file from Microsofts website you may right-click on the .EXE and click “Extract files” to follow along.)

Notes about the archive:

In the following example above we will be extracting everything in the C:chinaxbox folder. This archive contains the following files:

  • Xbox360_32EnG – This is the 32 bit version of the Xbox Driver for those working with Windows 7 32-bit, Windows 8 32-bit, and finally windows 10 32-bit.
  • Xbox360_64End – This is the 64 bit version of the Xbox Driver for those working with Windows 7 64-bit, Windows 8 64-bit, and finally windows 10 64-bit.
  • Xbox360_Mod_XP – This version is made specifically for windows XP 32/64 bit and Windows 7 32/64.

The Xbox360_Mod_XP folder modifies the following line entry on line 65-66:

This not only works on windows XP to get the driver installed but eliminates the annoyance of having to reload the driver every time you unplug your wireless receiver and plug it into a new port. The downside of this modified driver is it breaks the signature and thus doesn’t work on Windows 8 and Windows 10 unless your disable signature enforcement.
