HP Support Assistant (Win 7 x64): Error 1316 on update/install [ Edited ]

[simplebutgood]

HP Support Assistant was running and downloaded an update for itself, which doesn't install properly. I am left with shortcuts that no longer work - HSPA.exe is missing.

I went direct to HP site, downloaded HSPA latest version, and tried to install.

I get toward the end of the instal...

 

Then get this error:

Then HSPA unintalls itself...

Then I get a final Windows error:

I have tried a System Restore, but it doesn't work (no restore point early enough).

Can you help me fix this problem?

(Unlike some other posts, I really LIKE HSPA and want to keep using it.)

I am using Win 7 Ultimate x64 on an Envy 1104-tx.

Please help!!

Hello,

Sorry to hear about your HPSA

 Please try this to repair.

GO to Control Panel - Program removal - Remove the HPSA SW completely.

Then reboot and go to this site to download the latest version

Version:

5.1.10.7

Hope this works for you.

Unfortunately, it doesn't fix the problem because now it won't install via Control Panel:

I select the HPSA and ask to uninstall:

 

I get the message that it's preparing to remove...

 

Then it "crashes" with the same error as before:

Now what should I do? I would really like to get HPSA working again.

PLEASE HELP

I am sorry to see you are experiencing this problem.  

Try downloading the latest version of HPSA from www.hp.com/go/hpsupportassistant.  

The installer should remove old versions of HPSA from Windows and install the new version.  

Do you happen to be using Zone Alarm or a another security application that could be blocking the install?

HP Support Assistant.msi is missing. (in fact its located in another msi setup)

1-downlaod the latest update from hp web site and start the installation

2-go to c:\windows\installler   (installer is a hidden folder) 

3-sort by date ,you will notice a new file appearing while installing. for example xxxx.msi

4- before canceling your installation, copy it to desktop

5-now download universal extractor to extract msi files

6-extract it and you will retrieveHP Support Assistant.msi

7-copy all the files to c:\windows\installler and restart the installation from original download setup

8-ignore all errors the first time, then run a second installation

it worked for me on hp support assistant.msi

hint: dont spend time looking on forums, try to solve it yourself

This is what worked for me -- it takes awhile to process:

http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall

Then I ran a program to clean the registry (Advanced System Care).

Then I rebooted.

Then I ran the HP Support Assistant .exe (latest version of this posting: sp54620.exe)... that failed to finish.

I then went to: C:\SWSetup\SP54620

Ran: msiinstaller.exe

Finally it installed. What a pain ...

Now it is still stuck with loading the product information. But at least it's installed I suppose.

Product needs to be rewritten or bug fixed.

I had a similar problem and your suggestion to deinstall and reinstall worked just great!  Thanks!
