BootCamp installer always freezing up

So, I'm trying to get Windows 10 onto my system using BootCamp. So far, I have the system up and running, however, whenever I start up the BootCamp installer, it runs, but it ALWAYS gets stuck installing the 'Realtek audio' driver! I've tried many times over, and even re-installed the operating system once before.

No, this isn't an old version of BootCamp, it is the newest I could download.

No, it isn't corrupted; I was once using a faulty USB before, but now I'm using a better one with much better connectivity.

Yes, I have installed Windows 10 with BootCamp before, and it was 100% successful.

I'm on a MacBook Pro (Late 2011).

Please help out.

Never mind anymore! Solved the problem! 🙂

After a long think, I thought: "What if I manually installed the Realtek driver, delete it from the BootCamp drivers folder, and THEN run BootCamp?" Well, it worked. Although there was an error message at the start, I clicked 'Continue', which then the installer continued everything normally from there.
