laserjet m2727nf
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I'm trying to install a m2727nf printer on a w10 64 system. I'm using M2727series-win7-full-solution-v5.2-AM-EMEA1.exe. Initially i get an error that i have a usb hw error.  i reviewed other reports of problems and used 7Zip to etract the files. Then I deleted usbready.exe and  directly ran setup.exe from the extracted files. Seems like I got a bit further and then got the error "cannot create a file when that file already exists" . File name is too long and gets truncated, so don't know what the actual file is.

Help would be appreciated. Thanks

well, i seemed to have fixed this but not sure how. since the file name was to long, i copied the extracted file folder to my c drive and renamed the file folder to p. i was hoping that a shorter directory name would allow me to see the actually file name that already exists. to my surprise, the installation completed. not sure why, but maybe setip.exe can't handle a long file folder/file name.
