Software and drivers won't install on windows 8.1!!

I have a new computer running windows 8.1. After downloading the printer software for my all in one C4580, the files extract but then nothing happens. I've run the scan doctor and the install wizard and the same thing happens with those downloads. Hence, I have no way to install the software. In task manager the setup.exe is running and using alot of CPU's and so I ended the task. Went through the download and all the "fixes" and still with no luck. I've tried connecting my printer with the USB cable to see if that might help. It didn't. Please, I need help!

Hello ithacagoddess
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the software will not run once it extracts. I will do my best to assist you! I am going to provide numerous suggestions that could assist you.
Please complete all of your Windows Updates. Doing this could install, or repair, what is necessary to resolve the issue. Use these steps when installing your updates:
1. Open "Windows Update" in Control Panel.
2. Click "Settings", and then click "Install optional updates".
3. Next, click "Check for updates".
Next, I will have you install the latest redistributable package. This is the latest version and should be installed. This is very crucial towards the success of the installation. Please download and install if from this link: Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013
There have been certain .dat files that have been known to cause this issue. They are HPOIN*.DAT and HPWINS*.DAT. Deleting whatever of these files exist could resolve the issue. To do this, go to the Charms Bar, then search and %WINDIR% and hit Enter. Once the %WINDIR% window is open, look for any files that state with HPOIN or HPWINS and delete them.
If you have McAfee Live Safe installed, this program might be causing the issue. This software directly interferes with our printer software. Disabling the entire program should be done. The Spyware Realtime Scanner is the particular function that causes these issues.
In addition to disabling that program, you can perform a clean boot to disable everything else that might cause an issue. Here are some instructions on how to do this: Performing a Clean Boot in Windows
At this point, I would try reinstalling the printer software. Please use the Printer Install Wizard when installing the software: HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows
Please respond to this post after you try everything! I do have additional troubleshooting to suggest if this fails. Thanks for choosing the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Software and drivers package will only unpack but not install.
When the unpacking bar reaches the end, it disapears without any following actions.
I have of course tried it over again many times, and I have deleted the download and redownloaded it again but the same happens every time.
Any idea on how to solve this?
Sincerly

HI FLFO:
I have done some research on your post. I have found a document with steps to help resolve the stall you're experiencing during your printer installation.

WPSM54G drivers won't install on Windows 7

I've just migrated to Windows 7 (Home Premium) and found that my WPSM54G driver(s) won't install. The installer error message is essentially: Windows 7 is not supported. Is there any way to override this behavior? My guess is that the driver(s) will work just fine, if they could only be installed. Alternatively, when is Linksys likely to fix the problem?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This problem IS NOT solved by the above. Sure you can print with this option, but what about scanning and faxing? The WPSM54G is an ALL IN ONE sever and not just a print server. When is Linksys going to get updated software out? Why am I ALWAYS having issues with Linksys products that are software or firmware based.

USB port Not working and Drivers won't install

My Ethernet Controller, PCI device, SM Bus Controller, Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller, and Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller drivers will not install. Therefore I’m unable to connect to a wired connection and use the two USB ports on the left side of my HP DV6-6C10US Entertainment PC laptop.
I replaced my hard-drive a few days ago and reloaded windows 7 onto my laptop using another recovery disk.
I tried downloading the appropriate drivers from HP but they will not work either.

Multitouchpad drivers won't install with Windows XP and bootcamp

I just got a MacBook pro with the multitouch trackpad. I have repeatedly reinstalled the driver then told windows to rescan the system, it identifies the trackpad then says "a problem occurred during hardware installation" and the trackpad does nothing at all. I am using Windows XP Pro SP2 and the drivers on my Mac install disk for 10.6.4.

That would probably be what is wrong. All the drivers worked except the ethernet and touchpad. I guess I will be using the wireless and a mouse.

Boot Camp drivers won't install on Windows 7

I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro (10.10.2 Yosemite), and just installed Windows 7 (64-bit) via Boot Camp. It works fine but I am unable to install any of the drivers (version 5.1.5621). I put them on a flash drive but when I open Drivers/Apple/BootCamp, it says the program can not be run, check your bit version for compatibility (something like that)... I then try the troubleshoot way but this is what happens-
Thanks for the help.

Please verify that you have the correct drivers using System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support and install or repair using setup.exe in the BC folder.

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.

Photosmart C4680 software won't install in Windows 8.1 64 bit

Photosmart C4680 software won't install in Windows 8.1 64 bit. The installer starts, then never does anything. I see it in Task Manager consuming resources forever:
Here is the version I am trying to run:

Hey!
Sorry for the drop-off from the thread, I must have missed your response, I apologize.
When it comes down to the actual installation and issues revolving around that; it is no longer an HP printer issue. It is an MSI (Microsoft Installer) issue.
For MSI support, I recommend for you to call Microsoft Technical Support at 1-800-642-7676.
Best of luck and let me know the outcome if you think of it. Have a great day!

Not using Boot Camp, but you should be able to using virtualization software such as Parallels to run Windows concurrently with OS X.

Software and Drivers for an HP Scanjet 5590 with a 64 bit Windows 7 computer.

I thought that I had posted the following question but as I can't find it I will try again. I have been given a HP Scanjet 5590 scanner with no Software or Drivers for 64 bit Windows 7 computer and looking through the Web I saw some awful comments on the experiences of those using the software and drivers. I don’t want to make the same mistake so could anyone tell me how to go about obtain the correct software and drivers?

Corporal,
Here is the link for the software...
If you have the "p" model, backtrack a the link and reselect the proper model.
You want the "Full Feature" software.
Note that the download size is 315MB - plan accordingly if you have a slow connection...
While you are there, be sure to download the Print Doctor utiltity. (Do that first, it is tiny.) This may help later with installation and connection issues, if needed.)

The drivers won't install

The drivers won't install>Hi
I have a very old MP3 player which I recently started using again. It is around 5 or 6 years old and I think the model name is just Creative ZEN. The model number is DAP-HD005.
Following a hardware failure on my old PC a couple of months ago, I have recently got? a new PC, which runs on Windows 7 (64 bit). The old PC was about 5 years old and ran Windows XP. I have just tried to installm the software that came with the product on the installation disc but it won't load. I have also tried to find anything on theCreative site that will help, but nothing I have downloaded has so far solved the problem. I understand that the player is so old it is unlikely to be supported, but I wondered if there is some generic software that I have missed that I can install which will allow my PC to recognise the player.
Failing this, is gthere a way to make the player work with a Macbook? I tried to install the software on my wife's Macbook, but it wouldn't even try to run.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

You should be able to use compatabilty mode for XP to install this [url="http://support.creative.com/downloads/download.aspx?nDownloadId=00098">driver[/url]. It may freeze during the install & not progress but if it does & it lasts longer than 0mins exit it & reboot anyway. Then connect the player. Others have used this method & have been using their older players. I used this method on my Vista comp to install an older nomad player. Download the driver rightclick on the driver choose properties>compatabilty>Xp>then Ok. Then run the file & follow the instructions.
