This is the only working method that I've tested to install Windows 7 with a pen drive and USB3 driver. I've used the DISM Command Line Tool by INTEL.
"A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing" or "A media driver your computer needs is missing" This is the error when I try to install Windows 7 on Asus Z170M-plus.
The DISM Command Line Tool updates a Windows 7 installation image so that it contains USB 3.0 drivers.

"A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing" or "A media driver your computer needs is missing" This is the error when I try to install Windows 7 on Asus Z170M-plus.
The DISM Command Line Tool updates a Windows 7 installation image so that it contains USB 3.0 drivers.
Assumptions
-
You have a valid copy of Windows 7 on ISO or DVD. I've used one ISO from MSDN program.
-
You have Administrator access to another working computer (the Admin system) with Windows 7 or
later to follow these steps.
-
The Admin system has at least 10GB free disk space.
Create USB Flash Drive Installer
-
Use your Windows 7 DVD or ISO image to create a bootable USB flash drive. Instructions on how to do
are found on Microsoft’s site.
-
Leave the flash drive connected to your administrator console system.
-
Create a temporary working directory on the Admin system, such as C:\WIM.
-
Create a mount point under your working directory: C:\WIM\MOUNT.
-
Locate the boot.wim and install.wim image files in the \sources directory on your Windows 7 flash drive.
-
Copy both these files to your working directory. It is strongly recommended that, if you have disk space
(approximately 3GB), to make a second unmodified copy of these files.
-
Download the current USB 3.0 drivers for your Intel NUC from Download Center to the Admin system.
- Extract but do not install the USB 3.0 driver package.
-
Create a driver folder in your working directory for the 64-bit drivers (C:\WIM\USB3\).
-
Copy the x64 folder from the extracted files to that location (C:\WIM\USB3\x64\).
-
Open an Administrator Command Prompt window.
-
Enter each of the following DISM command lines in turn:

Copy Modified WIM Files Back to the USB Flash Drive Installer
-
Copy the newly-modified install.wim and boot.wim files back to the \sources directory of the Windows 7
USB Flash Drive Installer, overwriting the original files.
-
Eject and remove the USB Flash Drive from the Admin system.
Using the updated installer, proceed with the Windows 7 installation as you normally would.
