HP Solution Center won't run in Win 10

I hava Photosmart 6525 All-In-One printer.  I just updated my Windows 7 OMNI All-In-One desktop to Windows 10 and and now the HP Solution Center won't run.  I get "HP Solution Center cannot run because your device installation is not complete".  The printer works great; however I can't scan.  I have uninstalled and re-installed the printer and software four times.  Every time it installs with no problem but the Solution center won't run.  Is there a fix for this?

Hi,The HP Solution Center is not a part of the Photosmart 6525 software, it exists on your PC from your previous HP printer and have nothing to do with the new one. The HP Photosmart 6525 provided with the HP Printer Assistant software, to launch its software type HP into the search bar and open the HP Photosmart 6520 software. As a refernce see the 'How can I find HP Solution Center for a printer manufactured after 2011?' section below:http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02463264 Regards,Shlomi

  • C6280 HP Solution Center will not run or install

    I have been using my C6280 on my home network for years with Solution Center intalled on a desktop running Vista andtwo laptops running Windows 7 with only the print drivers installed. HP Update was eanbled on the desktop.
    In the past two or three months, I started to get a number of error messages on my desktop indicating there was something wrong with Solution Center. The issue steadily worsened to the point where Solution Center would not run at all (unable to detect device seemed to be the most recurrent message) and I was unable to run the scanner.
    I was able to maintain printer fnctionality by deleting and then adding the printer through Windows, although I seemed to be forced to do this every few days.
    I went on the forum and decided the best course of action to restore full functionality was to uninstall all HP software and then download/install the software suite. I downloaded the Vista 32 bit version  (100_228_PS_AIO_02_Full_Net_enu_NB.exe) andI tried installation several times with no luck - the installation always seemed to get stuck immediately after extracting files.
    I went back on the forum and found out how to do a level 4 uninstall from a temp folder beginning with 7z... . I did that and tried again (after checking that my Adobe Flash was up to date).  The install went a little further this time but eventually stopped again. File not found.  I ran the installation .exe from the temp file and went a little further but stopped again. An error log was created and a 'fix' was placed on my desk top. I followed the instructions but the 'fix' did nothing (it was just a text file - nothing to run that I could decypher). Just to make sure I was doing it right, I repeated the entire uninstall/download/reinstall process two more times with the same result. 
    The above process was beginning to remind me of Einstein's defiition of insanity (do ing the same thing over and over and expecting different resuts) so I gave up and successfully downloaded and installed the printer drivers to restore print functionality.
    How do I get my scan functionality back?
    Thanks

  • HP C7280 Solution Center won't work after upgrading to Windows 7

    I was running Vista and connected to the C7280 both wired and wireless. Last month or so has been wireless with no issues.
    I upgraded to Windows 7, reinstalled the driver I had, and now when I try to scan I get an error that says "An unsupported operation was attempted" that pops up twice, then I get an error that says "An invalid argument was encountered".
    Then a pop up window gives some steps to try to fix the problem.
    I downloaded and installed driver PS_AIO_02_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_140.exe which didn't work.
    I then removed the printer from hardware, and uninstalled the Solution Center software,
    Re-installed driver  PS_AIO_02_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_140.exe C7200 driver package and
    installed dot4patch_reboot.exe,
    shut the printer down, unplugged it for a few minutes, rebooted the computer, and
    the same errors occur.
    The driver is a year old, and I can't find a newer version.
    Released:
    2009-10-20
    Version:
    13.1.0
    The patch is a few months newer but it didnt help either.

  • HP Solution Center won't work with Windows 7

    Are there any current workarounds to using the HP Solution Center (for scanning / faxing / printer) for HP Printers with Windows 7 ?
    I have an HP Photosmart C7280 (wireless), have installed, re-installed, un-installed, installed from hp.com, installed from CD from HP, and the Windows 7 drivers for my HP printer over-ride the HP drivers.
    I have followed every single firewall configuration for the HP printer software, network configuration, wireless modifications, etc, but windows 7 drivers always over-ride the hp.  Either the HP Full Install crashes with fatal errors during installation, or it will work for 5 minutes, and when I reboot the laptop or turn the printer on, the HP Solution Center will share that the installation is incomplete, and to run the setup again.  
    Although I love my new HP Pavilion Entertainment PC with Windows 7, I'm frustrated that my pile of paperwork to scan cannot be done until the HP "all-in-one" printers are compatible with Windows 7.  I can print, but am not able to do anything else.

  • Lightroom 5.6 won't run on Win 7 6 after upgrade through CC

    Upgrading Lightroom to 5.5 stopped it from running. I found a fix on the net and moved on.
    Now. Lightroom 5.6 has just upgraded and now it won't run. Also, I cannot find a fix - new or old.
    This is very frustating..
    Please help

    Installing the standalone version just postpones the problem until you install the cloud version, again.
    The SLCache folder has bad data in it that confused LR 5.5 and again LR 5.6 until it was cleared, via Solution 4 on this page.  Of course there could be other issues, so trying each of the solutions in order could be useful, but Solution 4 is the one that finally worked for me, with LR 5.5 on my home computer, and LR 5.6 on my work computer, where I'd installed the standalone 5.5 to bypass the issue and it came back with LR 5.6:
    Lightroom doesn't launch or returns "Develop module is disabled" error after 5.5 update
    Once you remove the contents of the SLCache folder other Adobe programs will ask to be relicensed like Elements via a serial number or the cloud programs by logging in, but that is just once after you clear it not each time.

  • Lenovo solution center won't install update

    Hi,
    I've got a rather high spec Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga, which I love. However, the Lenovo Solution Center keeps popping up saying "A new version of Lenovo Solution Center is available. Do you want to update now? <Update now> <Later>
    When I click on update now, it downloads the ~35mb download for "2.4.002", but then doesn't install it. I'm concluding it doesn't install it by the fact that it remains on 2.2.002, the next day it'll ask me to download it again, and it does nothing after completing the download that would indicate that it has indeed updated the software.
    I'm running Windows 8.1
    According to the splash screen for Lenovo Solution Center, it is currently on version 2.2.002, revision 17630.
    Thanks!
    Andrew

    I know this is an old post but for anyone else having this problem...
    Once you download the update via Lenovo Solution Center and it doesn't automatically install:
    1.  Close the Lenovo Solution Center
    2.  Go to the folder "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\LSC\Lo​cal Store"
    3.  Right-Click on the LSCSetup64.exe file (or whatever your LSCSetupXX.exe file is) an choose "Run as Administrator".
    Be sure to check the date of the LSCSetupXX.exe file to make sure it is current so you know it is what you just downloaded.
    This will install the new version.
    Once complete, open the Lenovo Solution Center as normal.
    Enjoy!

  • HP Solution Center won't open for HP C7280 Printer

    Photosmart C7280 and Vista 64 bit
    First of all, I just wanted to say that before what's written below, I've not had an issue with this printer concerning printing/scanning/faxing.
    Now, here is the problem. I just moved, and since setting up my computers and printer, I've not been able to successfully open Solution Center, nor can I scan or fax from this Vista 64 bit computer.  I've installed the printer and can print successfully.  I then try to open Solution Center to scan a document, but it tells me that no devices are found.The bottom line is that I'm kind of dead in the water when it comes to scanning from this computer, which is extremely important for business purposes. So what do I do now to fix something that was working well enough before???

    Sorry to hear you cannot scan.  I want to provide you with a document that will cover all the most plausible steps to try first to fix this.  I know it can get complicated so start with this link and let me know if you have any questions or error messages.

  • My C5280 will print through my router but solution center won't go online and work

    I have just hooked up my C5280 to a dlink dir-655 router via usb cable now I can get it to print fine just when I open the solution center to scan it says the printer is offline.  any ides how to fix this? I am using windows XP.
    RWE

    After you connected this product via USB to your router, technically what the router will do from that point is forward the print jobs through wireless or Ethernet from your router to the printer over the attached USB cable. But, the connection is not direct. HP Solution Center will not see the printer as being online because it is looking for a direct USB connection, which is the only connection available for this particular printer.
    Hope this helps!

  • Executable built in Win 7 LabVIEW won't run in Win XP

    I'm using the "Invoke Node" function and and calling its "GetVersionInfo" property. When I make an executable, it runs fine under Win 7 but has a broken arrow under Win XP, and the error box says:
    "The VI is not executable. The full development version of LabVIEW is required to fix the errors."
    Now if I had an extra copy of LabVIEW to put on this machine, I'd slap a "full development version of LabVIEW" on that XP box. Let me check my wallet. NOPE, I do not have a spare $2,700! Is there another way to make this VI work?
    I've attached the VI and executable.
    Attachments:
    win_7_to_xp_problem.vi ‏12 KB

    I'm not sure about this.
    The reason is because the GetVersionInfo has to work differently between 64bit OS than with 32bit OS. I don't know what (if any) dependency is compiled into the EXE for this (running WoW64 vs. generic 32bit)....

  • Philips VOIP phone install won't run on Win 7

    Hi -
    I've got a Philips VOIP 0801B/37 phone. It has an install disk. When I run the install disk it says it only runs on Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
    What I want is the microphone. What does it take to get a bigger selection of microphones in the Skype dropdown list of microphones? All that shows for me is a single microphone for any of my headsets (a Realtek microphone). The Echo Sound Test Service does not record any messages when I try it.

  • Active x made on win95 won't run on win 2000/xp

    Is there any way to make it work. Thanks in advance for any help.

  • DAQ program compiled under Win2k won't run under Win 95.

    When I compile a LabView 5.1.1 vi program that uses lvdaq.dll on my Windows 2000 workstation, that same program will not run on a Windows 95 notebook computer. Error code 21 (external subroutine could not be found) is reported for all standard DAQ vi's calling functions within lvdaq.dll even though the dll can be found in the program directory, the system directory, the vi.lib\daq directory, and via the system path. The same program compiled on a Windows 95 workstation runs on the Windows 95 notebook computer just fine. Why is lvdaq.dll not found when the program is compiled under Windows 2000? Do I need the same version of NI-DAQ on both computers?

    Larry;
    If you are doing NI-DAQ function calls on your VI you need to match the NI-DAQ version on both machines, otherwise, depending on what functions you are calling and what are the NI-DAQ versions, you might get some errors. Just for future reference, this procedure is good for NI-VISA (if you are using VISA VIs) and NI-488.2 (if you are using GPIB boards) as well.

  • Solutions Center patch won't work. Windows 7 from Vista. C6280.Red

    I have a Dell Inspiron (Windows 7) and a C6280 on red with my husband's Hp Pavillion lap (Vista).  When I click Solutions Center to scan, a pop-up tells me I cannot do that just because. I have a CD for Vista since the lap is older than the Dell, when I try it Windows tells me to forget it. Then a window tells me Solutions Center won't work because I never finished installing something or "other".  If they mean PS_AIO_02_NetWired-FullWin_WW-130-140 I installed it 4 times. "Others" were many.  When I try the patch (dot4patch_reboot.exe) it immediately reboots  and... nothing else.  For rebooting my computer I don't need a patch, I'm obstruse but not that much. This is the 4th day I'm working at this and I'm desperate.   I'm thinking of throwing the whole rubble out of the window. In case I change that for myself: would a kind soul help me with this mess, please, please, pretty please?  You might have noticed I'm not very good at this kind of problem.  Therefore I have something extra to ask: make it simple?  Like Forums for Dummies?  Thank you so very much. Whether you can help me or not you had the patience to read all this.  Bless you.

    RitadeCasia,
    I am sorry it is not working.
    This part of your statement concerns me:
    "Only new happening today was an  HP window offering downloads, erasings and so forth with the image of a lovely Oriental girl."
    This Update message is not from HP.  HP does not offer any updates while showing the image of any lovely person.
    You might consider the following:
    The system may be infected with a Virus (corruption causing software) or Malware (essentially an unwanted or malicious program)
    Use your best Anti-Virus software and run the best, deepest scan that is offered.  When the first scan is complete, run your Anti-Virus again.
    Anti-Virus Software packages
    If you do not have Anti-Virus software, or if you need recommendations:
    Avast Anti-Virus   NOTE:  You may select the free version.  Avast "plays well with others:  it gets along with Windows Defender (the Microsoft Anti-Virus that comes standard on your computer.
    Recommendations provided by Microsoft for Anti-Virus software that works well with Windows 7 and most probably with Vista as well:
    Windows 7 consumer security software providers
    Malwarebytes software can help pull out, that is, it can extract and destroy those programs that do not belong on your computer.  Download and install the Free Version.  You might run it at least one time, perhaps twice.
    Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free
    After each time the computer is scanned, reboot / restart your computer and log in.
    ======================================================================================
    File System Scan -- sfc
    Assuming the computer is considered "cleaned" of unwanted virus and malware software, you might next complete a system Scan to help make sure the File System is healthy:
    Using System File Checker (SFC) to Restore System Files
    System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Wi...
    The sfc scan can be run more than one time to make sure it catches everything it can find.
    After the sfc scan completes, try your installations again.
    ======================================================================================
    New Backups -- System Recovery
    After the scans are completed and you are fairly confident that the system is clean, you will want to create a new backup of your personal data.   This is a backup of your Account, files, and any "extra" folders that you have created that is not part of the Vista Operating System.
    You do not want to over write any previous backups this time.  Example:  If you have a backup of your data on a USB stick that you made last month, two months ago -- or any time before the problems began, then you should KEEP that older backup and make a new backup on a different USB drive. 
    In other words:  You need to make new backups -- but you may not yet be able to trust them 100%; keep the older backups along with the new ones.  IF you end up having to run a full Recovery on the computer, you will then have a choice about which personal backups to load after the recovery is complete.
    Recovery
    If you cannot fix the persistant problems on your computer, you may have to run a full Recovery to reinstall your Vista Operating System.  Please READ all the following documents before you run a Recovery.
    You may NOT need to run the Recovery if you can fix the problems and your computer is again "acting normally".  I am providing the Recovery information in case you need it.
    Reminder:  A full Recovery is destructive -- the Recovery procedure removes your data, removes the Operating System, and then reinstalls Vista.  You must then complete additonal Recovery steps to load your personal data into place on the computer. **
    ** The exception:  IF you have created (previously) a full IMAGE backup, you can use it to restore your computer to that exact condition.  A full Image contains not only the Vista OS, it also contains all your personal data, your programs, and everything else that was on the main disk when the Image was created.
    If you do not already have an Image, you will be using other means to Recover the system back to working order.
    Documents to Help with Backups and Recovery
    The first document shows you how to use the computer's programs to make personal backups.   This is not the Recovery procedure -- it is something you do BEFORE you run the Recovery.  This procedure is related to Recovery in that it is preparation work you do ahead of time to protect your data.
    Reminder:  Do not overwrite your previous backups -- IF your system is infected AND the Anti-Virus programs cannot  completely fix the problem, then you still need to make backups, but you also need to understand that they may not be 100% safe or complete.  You can use the new backups, just know that IF they are later found to be infected, you will be depending on your older backups to restore your personal data  -- you need to keep both old and new personal backups on hand and ready to use.
    Use Windows Basic Backup and Restore Center to Back Up Files in Vista
    The above doc calls:
    How to Back Up Your Files (Windows Vista or XP)
    This document shows you how to run the Recovery procedure -- this is the "destructive part" that removes and then reinstalls Vista.
    Recover Windows Vista Operating System Using HP Recovery – Notebooks
    This document explains what steps are necessary to completely restore your computer after you complete the initial Recovery of the Vista Operating System:  installing personal programs (Firefox) and personal files (your personal documents and pictures).
    NOTE that you will need on hand:  Downloads or CDs of your programs that are not part of Vista.  For example, if you have installed a Photo Editing software, you will need to reload it after the Recovery.

  • "HP Solution Center cannot run because your device installation is not complete"

    I cannot use HP Solution Center because I only get this message when I start it: "HP Solution Center cannot run because your device installation is not complete". I am running Windows XP with an HP PhotoSmart Premium. I can print just fine and the printer is recognized by the PC and the network. I get the same problem whether connected wirelessly or through USB. I have re-installed all software multiple times. Please advise on how to get Solution Center up and running. 

      I had to do a total uninstall and reinstall of the driver. However, as you will see from this and other Support Forum threads there seem to be multiple stumbling blocks to the uninstall/reinstall process. Seems very glitchy. After nearly two days of unsuccessful tries I finally got it done. I did find three different official HP scenarios for the process, including one automatically sent to my desktop by HP upon one of the earlier failures. That sequence did not work work for me, but it was close--I got a partial install. But on another HP help file titled "Product Software Installation stalls or stops in Windows 7 with a USB connected product HP..." I found a six step process (with details for each), and it worked for me on the second try. Here are the six steps, plus extra things I did or discovered that could have helped make it work. I did step 5b. first: downloading and saving  the HP driver file on my computer before starting other steps, since I elected not be be on the internet as I did the installation. 1. Uninstall the HP printer software. See my note below about four ways HP lists do to this. I used two of them.2. Turn off the 'terminate and stay resident programs (has to do with system configuration). See HP details.3. Clear temporary files and folders through Windows accessories.4. Disable firewalls (see my note below about this)5a. Disconned the cable from BOTH the printer itself and from the computer, BUT TURN ON the printer.5b. Get the lastest version driver for you printer from the HP site and save it where you can find it. (I did this first, before other steps, so I could install off-line)5c. Install the driver software that you saved. (see my note below about an optional step that helped me with this, so the install will complete, and not hang up)6. Enable the start up software that was turned off with step 2. (See HP details) Notes: there are versions of HP instructions that  skip steps 2 and 6 and or 3 and 4, but that would not work in my case. I describe the steps that finally worked in case they can help someone else--this has been so frustrating. This uninstall/install process seems to be very touchy and perhaps changes depending on your printer or other configuration of your computer: Note about step 1: I found an HP document that listed four ways to uninstall. On my final and successful attempt I actually used two of the techniques. First I used the HP uninstaller program from the start menu program list on my computer stored with other HP stuff there. When I rebooted it did not appear that any HP programs were removed, but who knows, perhaps this got rid of some hidden file somewhere that had been causing all of the problems. Then I used the regular uninstall process from the control panel, and that worked. All HP programs were gone upon reboot. Note about step 3: I counld not believe this would help, but did it, and again, who knows, perhaps this is critical. Note about step 4: I assumed that step two 'terminate and stay resident programs' turned off my McAfee firewall and antivirus, so I did not turn it off. And I elected to be off the internet during install because I am always fearful about turning off those programs. However, and this may be the source of problems for many people, the HP list was very specific to turn off the Windows 7 firewall. I checked it and it was running, even though I thought McAfee was in charge. So I did turn off the Windows 7 firewall. Subsequently I learned that many people who have upgraded from earlier Windows operating systems to Windows 7 have the Windows firewall operating along with their other firewall, without knowing it. Apparently this does not happen if you did a clean install of Windows 7 rather than an upgrade install. Note about step 5c: On many of my tries the installation program would not terminate or complete, and I would get a partial install that allow some functions of the printer to work, but not Solutions Center. The only way I found to prevent this was at the step near the end, where you hook up the printer, select the box that says it's okay to connect it later. The installer program dumps an icon on you desktop that allows you to connect the printer after the installation shows complete and terminates by itself. By clicking the icon and plugging the cable into computer and the powered-on-printer when directed, the device installs perfectly. That was the only way I could get a full install, or get the installation to terminate. During the two days of trying to make this work I also reinstalled the latest version of Flash player since I read that HP Solutions Center needs it to show screens on your computer about printer functions. Of course downloading Flash onto a 64-bit version of Windows 7 is a little tricky too, but not that difficult. I do not know whether that was important, but it is one more thing to try if you can't make your Solutions Center part of the printer program work. I learned way more about the unintall/install process than I ever wanted to know. Sorry to be so wordy, but after two days of frustrating work on this I thought I should share this, in case any of these ideas could help someone else who is hung up on this. Perhaps there is an easier fix somewhere. The six-step process was on an HP help site and was not even for my specific printer, but the similar list from my model did not work. Wish I knew what the secret to success might have been.
