Hi @warrantX1145,
Thanks for your feedback.
Can you try this Uninstaller from Microsoft and then reinstall the FULL feature software again?

This did not work for me on my Windows 10, 64-bit notebook. I uninstalled all HP related programs using the microsoft program referenced in this thread and reinstalled using HP online software from my Photosmart C309a. The same installation error occurs. Any updated ideas?
