Hi @Jo3_momma2,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

You're encountering Error 2753: "The file installer.exe is not marked for installation" while trying to install or update the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI tool on your OMEN 17.3-inch Gaming Laptop PC 17-cm2000. especially with version 10.4.1.0 Rev.A of the UEFI diagnostics tool.

This error typically means:

  • The installer package is corrupted or improperly signed.
  • There’s a conflict with a previous version of the diagnostics tool.
  • The Windows Installer is rejecting the file due to missing metadata.


How to Fix It:

1. Uninstall Previous Versions (if any)

  • Go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.
  • Look for HP PC Hardware Diagnostics Windows or UEFI.
  • If found, uninstall it and restart your PC.


2. Download a Fresh Copy


3. Run as Administrator

  • Right-click the downloaded .exe file.
  • Select Run as administrator to give it elevated permissions.


4. Use HP Cloud Recovery Tool (Optional)

If diagnostics are critical and the installer still fails:

  • Use the HP Cloud Recovery Tool to create a bootable USB with diagnostics preloaded.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
