Clean install won't install Yosemite

I'm attempting to install Yosemite on a clean slate. I've followed the instructions here: http://osxdaily.com/2014/10/18/clean-install-os-x-yosemite/
I'm at the point where I've got Yosemite on a thumb drive, I've held down option and I've erased the drive. The drive is partioned etc, there's no issues there.
The problem is that when I close disk utility after erasing the drive, I click on 'Install OSX' literally nothing just happens. The button state doesnt change (indicating it's thinking), I can just click the button 10,000 times and nothing happens.
I've trawled the internet for answers, it doesn't look like anyone else has experienced the same problem.
Anyone have any ideas?

I'm at the point where I've got Yosemite on a thumb drive
Did you create a bootable USB installer, or do you just have a copy of the installer on the USB drive?
If you have a bootable USB installer, did you test it before you erased your drive?

  • Windows 7 won't install any Audigy 2 ZS drivers

    I did a clean install of Windows 7 and noticed right away, that the drivers for my Audigy 2 ZS didn't get installed. Here is the error I was given via device manager / properties for card:
    The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
    This operation requires an interacti've window station.
    Drivers I've tried:
    From Windows Update, dated October 4, 2008<
    Creative's website, Driver version?2.8.00, dated July 3 2009
    Creative's website, Beta driver version 2.8.00, dated Oct 2009
    Creative's website, Vista driver 2.2.0002, dated March 6, 2007
    danielk's audigy support pack 3.5
    When I tried the Creative executables and danielk's support pack, I do not get any errors during any parts of the install(s).
    Windows Updates says the install failed with unknown reason. When I attempt to "update driver" through device manager, it says it finds the driver but it gives me the same error as mentioned?above: This operation requires an interactive window station.
    What else can I try? I've also done an "upgrade" install of Windows 7 on top of the clean install (out of desperation). At this point, I feel like reloading my XP imaged install,?so I can have working audio again.
    So, please, if there is something I can try, then please help. Is there a way to do a "logged" install and send it to someone at Creative?
    Thanks for your time

    So, just to update everyone on my situation. I think my issue was caused by the migration tool, Windows Easy Transfer.
    I formatted the partition the partition that Windows 7 was installed on, and did a fresh reinstall. Upon first boot of the new reinstall, the audio drivers were still not installed. I then immediately tried to "update drivers" via device manager and Windows installed the latest beta drivers from October , 2009 with no errors.
    Is there any reason why the install won't install the drivers on its own? Did it not ship with Audigy 2 ZS drivers?

  • My macbook pro early 2012 won't install release version of yosemite after being in the beta test

    my macbook pro early 2012 won't install release version of yosemite after being in the beta test, anyone else having any issues with this?

    Received an email from apple saying thank you for being in the beta test and they tell you to download the release version from the mac app store and install it. Done this twice and it says installed successfully after rebooting twice and doing the usual install of a new OS. However when it boots up and opens your desktop it still has the Feedback assistant installed and continuity and all the new features do not work at all. Making me assume that the final release has not installed at all. Spoke to apple on the Phone and they Don't know how to solve it. Except for doing a fresh OS Install. Which i would rather not do, but might have too. currently backing up my Mac as we spec to do it

  • Yosemite won't install due to a "S.M.A.R.T. drive problem that can't be repaired."

    After downloading Yosemite successfully, it won't install due to a "S.M.A.R.T. drive problem that can't be repaired."  It says to back up as much as possible and replace the drive.  Everything works flawlessly with Mavericks.  What gives??

    If you are getting a S.M.A.R.T. error then you should be more worried about losing everything on your drive then about upgrading your Mac OS.  Regardless of if you are running Mac OS, Linux, or Windows, you should never just disregard such a drive error.  S.M.A.R.T. is designed to give you a warning that your drive is statistically having far more errors than normal and should be backed up immediately and typically replaced.
    In your case, it's likely a coincidence that your drive is failing at the time you are attempting to upgrade to Yosemite.  You should stop what you are doing, backup your drive (if you don't already have the backups that you should prior to any OS upgrade), and replace the hard drive prior to moving forward.
    To make it clear, your hard drive is likely going to fail soon and you may lose everything on it at any moment.  This failure has nothing to do with Yosemite or any Mac OS.  All hard drives fail at some point.  Hopefully this S.M.A.R.T. notice has given you the opportunity to solve a major problem before it gets worse.

  • 2011s MacBook Pro won't install Yosemite neither reboot or boot into recovery mode.

    Hello everyone, I've searched all around the web and didn't find a solution.
    Sorry about my english, btw, I'm from Brasil lol!
    I have a 2011s MacBook Pro, used to run Snow Leopard until 2 days ago, when I downloaded Yosemite and restarted the computer to run the installation.
    During the process, it stopped at 22%, and said: FILE SYSTEM VERIFY OR REPAIR FAILED.
    I tried to reboot on Macintosh HD as usual, but it's not possible, I can't unmount the HD to repair it, can't erase it and I'm a little desperate.
    I have a good backup of important files on an external drive, so the best solution for me would be to format the HD again, with the Yosemite image which appears to be running at startup.
    Command+ anything at startup doesn't work, probably because the Yosemite install is trying to run...
    Any suggestions???
    Thank you!

    Hey Vince,
    I have the same or similar issue.  Please forgive my English, as I attended American Public schools
    So last night, my MacBook Pro told me hey you want to download this free and amazing new OS called Yosemite?
    (I'm adding to your post to hopefully grab more attention and then maybe grab a solution from someone out there..)
    I thought yea, no, maybe, okay it's free, they say it is amazing-- why not?!?
    So I downloaded and clicked okay to restart and install the new OS.......but it won't install the OS and I get stuck here on this screen.
    I have tried restarting about 10 ties. I have tried quitting the install but it won't allow me to boot from Mac HD or my time capsule HD.  I tried going into the menu options above but it won't let me repair or reboot or anything to get my MacBook to work again.
    It is pretty frustrating. I went from having a working MacBook Pro to having a nightlight.
    Vince- if you get a solution or a fix, Please let me know.
    Thanks

  • Flash won't install after downloading...early 2013 MBP/Retina, 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram, 3GHz Intel Core i7 Processor (clean installation)

    Flash Player won’t install after downloading
    On the first attempt to install v14, Flash Player v13 was installed and working fine.
    I opened the installation package for the new Flash Player, followed standard protocol for installing Mac software and it hung before retrieving anything.
    Subsequently, while watching the beach ball spin, I got an error message that the installer could not retrieve the v13 Flash Player software.
    So I uninstalled Flash Player 13 and again attempted to install v14, only to see the spinning beach ball followed by a message that the installer could not retrieve the v14 Flash Player software.
    I am running OS X v10.9.4 on an early 2013 MBP/Retina display with 3GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram.
    If you have any ideas or suggestions regarding my issue, please let me know.
    Sincerely.

  • 24" iMac won't install any 'large' Apple software updates from the internet

    I am having a serious issue with my iMac and neither the people on the phone at Apple Care or the 'Geniuses' at the Genius Bar have been able to assist. So, maybe someone here can:
    First - here is the background information about what happened and what I've done:
    A few weeks ago when the new iTunes 10 came out I went to upgrade. The upgrade failed it said. So, I thought perhaps Apple was having issues with the new software or something. So, I thought - Ok, I'll give it a day or two.
    I come back and try again from Apple.com - no luck. Hmmmm - well, I just happened to see my 'software update' icon pop up and there was iTunes. I thought "Great! Now I'm sure it'll install!" No luck.
    So, I think - well, perhaps I've done something to corrupt my profile. So, I create a new profile and try again. No dice.
    So now I'm really confused and figure - ok, let me try a partition and I'll try again. Still nothing.
    Finally I figure - ok, something is wrong here. So, since nothing is working I backup my music and important files and wipe out the hard drive and start over. No luck. And, in fact - since I had gone back to 10.5.4 or whatever - software updates needed to install to get me back to 10.5.5. Those wouldn't install through software updates OR when downloaded from Apple.com - Smaller downloads like, flash, java, firefox, etc - all download and install without issue.
    I decided to engage "Apple Care" and they call me at the time I specified and we begin to do some tests on the hardware and everything came back ok. We tried from Apple.com and software updates again - still won't install the software. Keeps coming back with "Software installation failed" something about the package installer was corrupted during downloading.
    The guy at Apple care thinks perhaps its my network corrupting something. This begins to make a little sense and I think, maybe he's right. My wireless router isn't that great so, maybe I'll just go replace it. However, while I'm checking out I begin to think that maybe its NOT my wireless router - because I do have 2 other computers in my house who haven't had issues downloading anything. So, this is unlikely. But, I didn't like the wireless router anyway - so I went ahead with the purchase.
    I get it home - set it up and try again. STILL not working. So, I make an Appointment at the "Genius Bar". I take it in - show them the screen shots of the errors and we get started. They try to do the install of either iTunes or the combo update on THEIR network - still won't work. The genius thinks I have a bad HD and takes the computer for 2 days to look at it.
    I finally get to go pick it up - excited that I'll have my iMac (which I use for work) back and functioning again. I go pick it up and they decided that it wasn't my hard drive - but likely my RAM. They couldn't prove it was the RAM but figured since I bought the RAM after I bought the iMac that this must be the issue (even though it was up to exact Apple standards and was from Crucial). So, I think - well, while I have a blank slate I'll go ahead and install Snow Leopard. So, I pick up Snow Leopard and get new RAM too and go home to install.
    I get the computer home, put the new RAM in, install snow leopard and get ready to work! After snow leopard install is done - it has some new updates it needs to install. And the update FAILS to install again. Oh, and they never replaced the HD.
    So, I call Apple Care again - they have no clue. They suggest making an Apple Genius Bar appointment. So, I take it in again. They run diagnostics on it from their 'Triage' external hard drive and everything checks out. He says its probably the hard drive (same conclusion they came to the first time) and said that they would replace it.
    I get the computer back - take it home. Everything is up to date. All the software updates were back in place including iTunes 10. However, I still want to test and see if I can download iTunes and/or do updates. So, I uninstall iTunes and download it again. Same problem. STILL won't install any large software downloads. But, again - Smaller downloads like, flash, java, firefox, etc - all download and install without issue. Just no core Apple updates or things like iTunes will download and install on my iMac.
    I then took it to a friends house - set it up on his network - same issue.
    So to sum up:
    I have re-imaged the hard drive several times
    I have replaced the ram
    I have replaced my networking hardware (even though other machines on the network have no issues)
    I have taken it in twice to the Genius Bar and they still haven't fixed it
    The Problem followed the machine and exhibited the same issues in store as it did in my home (so we know the problems stays with the machine)
    I have tried it on yet a 3rd network and the issue still exists
    The people at the Genius Bar told me that If I still have issues then its with my network - even though its been proven it wasn't.
    Its only larger downloads like Combo Updates and iTunes that won't install.
    Any ideas? Sorry for the long post but its been quite an ordeal.

    Yes, I have tried the updates directly from the Apple website and a different issue occurs. When I do that I get various different errors - the most common saying 'Codec overrun'. This has happened both before and after complete software OS reinstalls (Completely wiping the HD clean).
    I did a video of my issue on my iPhone. I had to cut it and compress it to get it off my phone without syncing (because I can't sync it since I can't get iTunes installed now). So, its about a minute long if anyone wants to see it:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8leWwEoIeXI
    And yes, we tried to repair permissions a couple times but didn't seem to have any effect on whether it would install these updates. Again, it's NOT all software downloads/installs. It seems to be limited to LARGER pieces of software. Example: Firefox, Flash, Java and Silverlight have all downloaded and installed without error on my iMac. Apple combo updates and iTunes won't install at all.

  • Windows Updates won't install - Error 0x80072EFD

    Question 
    Windows Updates won’t install.  I’m receiving Error 0x80072EFD.  What can I do to solve this?
    Answer 
    This particular error means that your computer was not able to connect to the Internet when it tried to install updates.  First, check your Internet connection and then try again. If that doesn’t work, try the methods below.
    Method A: Make sure that Windows Firewall is turned on, and temporarily disable third-party firewalls
    Warning This workaround may make a computer or a network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. We do not recommend this workaround but are providing this information so that you can implement this workaround at your own discretion. Use this workaround at your own risk.
    To complete this method, follow these steps.
    Step 1: Make sure that Windows Firewall is turned on
    To open Windows Firewall, click the Start button, and then click Control Panel. In the search box, type firewall, and then click Windows Firewall.
    Click Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
    Click On (recommended), and then click OK.
    Step 2: Temporarily disable third-party firewalls
    Click the Start button, click Control Panel, and then, under System and Security, click Review your computer's status.
    Click the arrow button next to Security to expand the section.
    Under Firewall, read the firewall status note. This information will indicate which, if any, firewall is installed and whether the firewall is turned on. For example, for ZoneAlarm, the notice will say ZoneAlarm Firewall is currently ON.
    Open the third-party firewall application that is listed in the firewall status note, and temporarily disable the firewall. If necessary, refer to the firewall application documentation, or contact the application vendor for more information about how to temporarily disable the application.
    Step 3: Try to install the updates again
    If this method resolved your issue, follow the steps in Method B, step 2 to re-enable your third-party firewall. You might want to also check for and install any necessary updates to your third-party firewall.
    If this method did not resolve your issue, continue with Method B.
    Method B: Temporarily disable third-party antivirus software
    Warning This workaround may make a computer or a network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. We do not recommend this workaround but are providing this information so that you can implement this workaround at your own discretion. Use this workaround at your own risk.
    Note If your third-party firewall is still disabled from Method A, do not open e-mail messages, surf the Web, or use instant messenger at this point.
    Step 1: Locate and temporarily disable your third-party antivirus software
    Note Windows does not detect all antivirus software, and some antivirus software doesn't report its status to Windows. If your antivirus software is not displayed in Windows Security Center, and you're not sure how to find it, try any of the following:
    Look for the antivirus software in the list of programs on the Start menu.
    Type the name of the software or the publisher in the Search box on the Start menu.
    Look for the software in Action Center:
    Click the Start button, click Control Panel, and then, under System and Security, click Review your computer's status.
    Click the arrow button next to Security to expand the section.
    If Windows can detect your antivirus software, it will be listed under Virus protection.
    If the software is turned on, check the Help documentation that was included with the software for information about how to disable it.
    Note You may have to look in the application documentation to determine how to do this.
    Step 2: Check for Windows Updates
    As soon as the antivirus software is temporarily disabled, visit the Windows Update or Microsoft Update site again, and try to download and install updates.
    If this method resolved your issue, and you were able to install the updates successfully, you should re-enable your third-party antivirus software.
    If this method did not resolve your issue, continue with Method C.
    Method C: Disable software accelerator programs
    Disable any software accelerator programs that may be running. Some examples of these programs are file download accelerators and Internet speed accelerators.
    Note If your third-party firewall is still disabled from Method B, do not open e-mail messages, surf the Web, or use instant messenger at this point.
    Step 1: Disable software accelerator programs
    To do this, select from the following options:
    See the documentation that was included with the program.
    View the Help files for your program.
    Contact the program vendor. For information about how to contact the program vendor, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
    http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vendors
    Step 2: Install Updates
    As soon as the software accelerator program is disabled, visit the Windows Update or Microsoft Update site again, and try to download and install updates.
    If this method resolved your issue, you should enable the software accelerator programs that you disabled in Step 1.
    If this method did not resolve your issue, continue with Method E.
    Method D: Add the Windows Update Web site and the Microsoft Update Web site to the Trusted Sites list
    Note If your third-party firewall is still disabled from Method A, do not open e-mail messages, surf the Web, or use instant messenger at this point.
    To add the Windows Update Web site and the Microsoft Update Web site to the Trusted Sites list, follow these steps:
    Start Windows Internet Explorer.
    On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
    Note If you are using Internet Explorer 7, and the menu is not available, press the ALT key on your keyboard to access the Internet Explorer Menu.
    Click the Security tab, and then click Trusted Sites.
    Click Sites, and then click to clear the Require server verification (https for all sites in this zone check box.
    In the Add this Web site to the zone box, type the following addresses, and then click Add after you type each address:
    http://update.microsoft.com
    http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
    Click OK two times.
    Try to install the updates again.
    If this method resolved your issue and you were able to install updates successfully, you should re-enable your third-party firewall if it is still disabled. To do this, see step 2 in Method A.
    For more methods and advanced troubleshooting techniques, see You may encounter temporary connection-related errors when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update to install updates.

    Mark, I've just been through this update issue with two installations.  In my case, it seemed intertwined with authentification and indexing not working, either.    Upon a transfer of my system disk to new hardware I got hit with the issue and couldn't fix it.  Which is why I did a clean install of Win7 ultimate 64bit on my T61p.  The install (including update) worked great until I ran the intel matrix storage manager update.  This broke windows update.  If you surf the web, and include "intel rapid storage manager" or "intel matrix storage manager" and "Windows update fails", you'll see that a lot of folks feel that the intel driver (or how windows handles it) is what breaks update.  I tracked this down to a driver, iastor.sys, in windows\system32\drivers.    I was able to fix my Window Update by copying an iastor.sys from another recently built machine (should be exactly the same, but this was my wife's T510, but still Win 7 Pro 64) to overwrite the iastor.sys that the intel update changed.  To be clear: I couldn't get windows update or indexing to work.  I overwrote* the "bad" iastor.sys with one that worked on another computer.  Rebooted.  Update worked. I just wanted to point out that instead of blindly installing updates to fix problems, folks should be aware that sometimes the update is the problem. Especially as these systems are off warranty and the drivers are not being updated.  I've asked elsewhere, so let me ask here: Where is the System Interface Driver for t61p?  Not listed anywhere on site, links on the web referring to it are all broken.  Is the System Interface Driver now part of another driver program?  Thanks! Jim T61p, Win 7 Ultimate 64bit, and T510, Win 7 Pro 64bit

    Fellow user from St. Louis, Missouri pointed in the right direction. I'm grateful
    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Running upgrade assistant (going to Store rejects CPU, but no details)
    Results in:
    X You can't install Windows 8.1 because your processor doesn't support LAHF/SAHF.
    X You can't install Windows 8.1 because your processor doesn't support PrefetchW.
    There are at least three Processor requirements that M'soft does not list for WIN 8.1
    and it's fairly well documented, if you ask the right question, eg.:
    http://www.pcworld.com/article/2058683/new-windows-8-1-requirements-strand-some-users-on-windows-8.html
    So that's it, exclusion by 'stealth' - at least M'soft told you that processor required NX - Execute Disable Bit

  • Leopard won't install on my G5 Dual 2Ghz

    I made a clone of my hard drive onto an external Firewire drive and tried to install Leopard on there to test compatibility. It gave up after 15 minutes...
    "Install failed. The MacOS could not be installed on your computer. The installer could not verify the contents of the 'Essentials' package. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    I tried this a few times with he same results and then tried a clean install on an internal drive. This time it was Mail.app that could not be verified when it gave up.
    I made a disk image of the installer on an external hard drive and tried to install from that. Same error.
    Leopard installed on my Mac Mini without a problem.
    There's something seriously wrong here.

    I can also confirm: *Leopard won't install on my G5 dual 2 Ghz EITHER.*
    I get as far as "Select the Drive you want to install Leopard on" and only my second drive bay HD appears. My primary startup HD with the OS on it does NOT appear in the window as a selection.
    In addition it took 4 tries just to finally get the procedure to recognize and display my Startup HD to select for rebooting the computer when trying to QUIT the install process. Apple, you got a problem. Stock machine here. NEVER any problems doing OS upgrades since Oct. 03....until this moment. No peripherals attached. Standard hardware config. What's Up?

  • Google tool bar won't install on Mac OS 10.4.11

    Mac OS 10.4.11. Was using earlier Firefox then installed 3.6.8 and now many add-ons won't work but mostly I need Google tool bar which won't install. Also no autofill.

    Jeff, there was nothing under logs/Adobe/installers. Instead, I had to scroll through "All reports" and find the log there. Under Adobe, I only found Reader updater and the CC Cleaner protocoll:
    The protocoll for the installation attempt looks like this:

  • Driver won't install and setup won't finish on windows 8.1 64bit

    Hi
    We have a HP PSC 1410 All-In-One installed on an old pc with windows 7 and the printer is working fine but I decided to move the printer and plug it in on my brand new ultra high end gaming pc with win 8.1 64bit on it for obvious reasons, because the pc is alot faster. Pc config: i5 2500k 4GHZ, 16 GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 970  4 GB,  you get the picture a very fast gaming pc lol.
    I downloaded the proper driver on the hp support website and started the setup and windows doesn't recognize the printer and the driver.
    Everytime I uninstall and reinstall the driver I get this error:
    It seems to be my even though HP claims that they have windows 8.1 driver support for my printer, it actually doesn't support it. Because I even tried to install it on my HP (the irony lol) laptop with win 8.1 on it and it doesn't work. I get the same problems and errors.
    So to recap it: setup won't complete, gives me an error and then uninstalls the software by itself ....
    Can anyone confirm that this specific printer model works on win 8.1? If yes, why doesn't it work on both my pc and laptop with win 8.1? Why does it only work on my old pc with win 7?
    It's really a shame because the printer (even though it's very old) is still great and I like it, I just wish it would work on my new pc.
    If anyone knows how to fix this or with a workaround please do share.
    Regards
    Elvis

    Hiya @Elvis29, 
    First and foremost, I apologize for the delay, I have been researching what could be causing this issue, and more importantly what we can do to resolve it.
    Please complete the following steps and let me know the outcome of your efforts;
    Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box, type %temp%
    Delete all files and folders from the temp folder. Choose skip if any pop ups appear saying any of the files could not be deleted
    I think in order to get the install package to install properly it would be best to unlock the admin account, then try to install again.
    Let's begin with a clean boot first; How to perform a clean boot in Windows
    How to Unlock Admin Account:
    Open an Elevated Command Prompt in Windows 8 & 8.1 (Instructions here)
    Once CMD (Command Prompt) opens, type net user administrator /active:yes and hit enter
    Next, close CMD and restart your computer
    When your computer comes on log into the new account that should show. It will  be called Administrator and will not have a password on it.
    If your computer automatically logs into your account after restart than go to your start menu click the arrow beside 'shutdown' and choose 'switch user'. Now log into the Administrator account we just unlocked
    Under the Administrator account download and install the drivers using the Printer Install Wizard.
    The Printer Install Wizard will by pass the Windows Installer. This runs its only installer or install shield, which will interact independent of the Windows Installer. This may allow the file that cannot be found, to be found and let the install finish.  HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows
    The HP Printer Install Wizard for Window was created to help Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 users download and install the latest and most appropriate HP software solution for their HP Printer.
    If everything installs fine, log out of this account and back into your normal user account. All the Software and Drivers for your product should show installed now on your account.
    If everything works fine, you will want to Hide the Administrator account.
    Go to your Start menu and under the 'search programs and files' box type CMD
    CMD will populate as a search option above, just right click on it and 'run as administrator'
    Once CMD (Command Prompt) opens, type net user administrator /active:no and hit enter
    Next, close CMD and restart your computer
    Please keep me posted.

  • Satellite L875D-S7230 Sound problems / drivers won't install

    I've run a PC tech support service for over 10 years so I've tried all the standard fixes to no avail.
    Main problem was after I started using my laptop with an HDMI cable to a projector -- the audio and video worked fine via HDMI, but when I disconnected the HDMI cable the laptop had no audio, and had a red x on the audio symbol in the system tray. Device manager only showed AMD High Definition Audio Device.  Under Playback devices via the Sound icon (yes Disabled and Disconnected Devices are both checked) it only shows the AMD High Def device.  When I reconnect the HDMI, the audio works fine.  Once I thought that not properly "ejecting" the HDMI cable could be the problem, so I used Windows + P to show the Projector menu and selected Computer Only to disconnect the HDMI and then removed the cable and then the laptop audio worked, but that happened several weeks ago, and now after using HDMI again, it's back to no audio.  I've reinstalled  the HDMI audio, but in trying to reinstall the Realtek Audio Drivers shown on the Support page for my model, they won't install - they extract and then when I click to install, the install stops with no error warning, etc. The same with the AMD Display driver (which is supposed to contain the chipset drivers).    I've been through this two hours troubleshooting process twice over the past 6 months and I am done.  Any suggestions are appreciated.  Here's the support page:

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums, and thanks for posting! I understand you are having some issues re-installing the software for your HP LaserJet Pro M177fw Printer. I'd like to help you with this. First, I would recommend checking your programs to make sure there isn't anything listed for the LaserJet that wasn't uninstalled: Swipe inwards from the right hand side of the desktop (or press Win key + C on the keyboard). The charms bar will pop up on the right hand side of the screen.Select Settings, then Control Panel.Select Programs, then Uninstall a program.Check the list for any software indicating the printer model (select the software and click uninstall if necessary).You'll also want to make sure you have removed all instances of the printer from your devices and printers folder: Follow steps 1 and 2 above to open the Control Panel.Under Hardware and Sound, select Devices and Printers.If you see any icons for your printer, right click and select delete (or remove device).Now let's do a cleanboot of your computer (to make sure another program that is running is not interfering with your installation). You can find the steps to perform a clean boot in this Microsoft document - How to perform a clean boot in Windows Once all of this is complete, run the software install again. Please respond to let me know if we have resolved the issue!Good luck.
