The installation was not easy or obvious. I am new to Windows 7, so that doesn’t help either.
I tried various forums with no answers that worked. This thread explains my problem:

Simply updating the driver with “Arduino UNO” on this Unknown Device did not work.
The device manager would continue to say no driver was found.
I the tried these 10 steps and it worked for me. Your mileage may vary.
Unknown Device Found.
Update Driver.
Choose “…List of Drivers”.
Choose “Ports”.
Choose “Arduino LLC” and then “Arduino UNO”.
Yes – Continue to Install driver!
Voila! Driver Installed.
Arduino UNO is now seen as a COM port.
And now, yes, Arduino UNO shows up under Device Manager.
Then, in the Arduino IDE, be sure to choose the new COM port!
Done.
Hi I’m having the same problem the only thing is I have followed all your steps up to the part where you scroll through the providers for the com port and arduino does not show up any help?
nevermind i made a dumb mistake.
This worked like a charm, Thanks!
Same problem as Tim, I get Standad and below that there’s Brother. But no Arduino.
How did you get arduino?
Solved, just click the ‘Have Disk’ button on that stage and navigate to the drivers folder.
Glad it worked!
Excellent solution. Manufacturer and model were not on our list. But like Pritesh, we clicked “Have Disk” and got the driver that way.
Your solution enormously reduced consumption of aspirin while trying to install Arduino Rev3 driver on Windows 7. Thank you!!!
Great news!
Thanks! Helped a lot
Awesome! Thanks you saved me a lot of time. I just got back from Radio Shaft as I needed to build an AVR programmer. I have an Uno already from Sparkfun, but this new one did not get picked up by the driver checks. I was wondering if they forgot to put the serial code on there!
Thank you, it helped a lot. And also the comments by Pretish and Neill helped. I didn’t have Arduino under the manufacturer list, but I clicked on “Have Disk”, went to the Arduino download file, drivers, and finally Arduino Uno Rev3. Thank you
