How to install Intel TPMDriver?

[Melkorbane]

Hey all, I have installed all the drivers available from my mobo (MSI P67-GD55) page except a driver titled "Intel TPMDriver". Googling doesn't really tell me what it is, and the file I downloaded doesnt either.

It is in .zip format, upon unzipping I get a folder containing 3 files.
ifxtpm.cat
ifxtpm.inf
IFXTPM.sys

I have no idea how to install this... the inf file contains info but I have no idea what the things mean, and the cat file just gives me this security catalog window with numbers I can't understand

Here is the content of the inf file:

Hi Melkorbane here is a link to a pdf so that you can get more information, normally when you download a driver you go into the control panel > system > hardware right click the driver click update, the and browse to the folder where you have saved the update, highlight the driver and press ok to update, from the quick read i did it mentioned a hardware update for your particular mobo
Its not something i have come across before..steps to update vary as to the operating system

[Melkorbane]

I read up my mobo's manual and found out that the driver is only useful if I have a TPM chip connected, which I don't. Apparently it's a chip that prevents laptop theft, which my desktop probably doesnt need.

Thanks for the fast response!

USE Sky Driver (Made in China) is good
