Can't add additional x86 Driver on 64bit Windows Server 2008

Issue

Trying to add x86 type of Brother MFC print driver (Windows XP, Vista, 7) on Windows Server 2008 64bit machine. Wile running Add Printer Driver Wizard dialog "Install Components From Windows media" is displayed:

Please provide path to Windows media (x86 processor)

After clicking browse, it seems that setup is looking for 32bit version of ntprint.inf file:

Locate File dialog

Solution

Point Locate File dialog to 32bit Windows 7 machine, to a location where ntprint.inf is stored. I found this file in a few places, following one worked just fine \\PC-Name\c$\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\ntprint.inf_x86_neutral_88459cb66b0e2d44

$C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\ntprint.inf_x86_neutral_88459cb66b0e2d44\ntprint.inf$
