Omen Central Ops and HP Performance Analyzer

[gadgetboi]

HP Perfomance Advisor used to be part of the HP OMEN Central Ops Suite; since the last upgrade (Performace Advisor. 1.8.7826.0) it no longer shows as part of the suite. Is there a procedure/process for adding into the Central Ops suite?

@gadgetboi,

Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums.

The only thing you can do is a system restore back before the update and keep the old version if it will let you.

Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

Hi D5GR

Thank you for the reply.

HP Performance Analyzer automatically upgrades on executing and doesn't appear to have a setting  to disable upgrading.

Because of this, restoring is not an option, it would just upgrade on first execution. 

Also, I dont see the problem here as being the performance analyzer but the OMEN  Central Ops suite. The config file is pointing to the wrong directory now for the advisor.exe. Why is the config not editable by the enduser? Or the Central Ops suite needs a config file to reflect the new location.

Central Ops Suite config

LNK0018=C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\HP Performance Advisor\Advisor.exe
APP0018=HP Performance Advisor
ARG0018=
ICO0018=C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\HP Performance Advisor\Advisor.exe
TIP0018=Item0318
RPL0018=

Actual location now of the Performance Analyzer

C:\Program Files (x86)\Hp\HP Performance Advisor\Advisor.exe

Update 07/09/15: 

I actually resolved this by first removing the read only attrbute from the Hewlett-Packard folder and copying the complete HP Performance Advisor folder from the HP folder to that location. The icon now shows and the app works fine from there.
