software installation

[Gabriel022]

I've tried to install this software, and it only keeps saying retry HP Development Company, L.P. - SoftwareComponent - 8.10.29.1
What could be the problem?

Welcome to HP Support Community, @Gabriel022 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

1. Check Internet Connection

Ensure the laptop is connected to a stable and fast network.

Restart the router if needed.

Try switching to a different Wi-Fi network or mobile hotspot.

2. Update Windows 11

Go to Settings > Windows Update

Click Check for updates

Install all pending updates

Restart the laptop if prompted.

3. Check Device Manager for Driver Issues

Open Device Manager

Look for any device with a yellow warning icon

If you find one:

Right-click → Uninstall device

Restart the laptop to auto-reinstall drivers.

4. Re-download the Software

Go to the HP Drivers & Software page

Enter your HP EliteBook model

Select Windows 11

Download HP Development Company, L.P. – SoftwareComponent – 8.10.29.1

Try installing the file again.

5. Run Installer as Administrator

Right-click the software file

Select Run as administrator

6. Check Antivirus or Firewall Conflicts

Ensure your security software isn’t blocking the installer.

Temporarily disable antivirus/firewall (enable it again right after installation).

7. Review Any Recent System Changes

Consider whether you recently installed new software, updates, or hardware.

Undo or roll back any changes that might be causing conflicts.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
