First of all, Sorry for reviving this old post (it's been a year and all). Anyway I encounter the same problem yesterday (Jan 07, 2016). so I tried to look for a solution online but sadly there wasn’t one. Though somehow I managed to find my own solution and I noticed there might be some people who are still looking for a solution. So, if you are one them just follow the steps below

**I'm not an HP guy, neither plan to be one (No offense) so follow this at your own risk.

***This is not a coaching class, So I will keep things simple and clear without any extra information.

1: Turn on your computer ( Ha-ha just kidding )

1.1: Once, you get the error, Open directory "C:\swsetup\SP71354" ("Don't ask me how").

2:  Run "SeaBootBuilder_rEFInd_HP_Kahuna_NB_HPM9_HPP2_FDL_Delay_V31705SG".

3: Press 'Next' 'Accept' "Next', chose pen-drive that you want to use for installation

   **Pen-drive will get formatted in process, just make a backup before and copy the backup back to pen-drive afterward

4: Click create

**** Things get messy here (For Envy 15 series)

5:  Restart computer. On boot time, Press "F10" rapidly

      or in simple words "Open BIOS"

6: Go to System Configuration/Boot option.

7: Enable “Legacy support”. (Make sure you save before you exit)

8:  Your system will restart, and you will see a number combination i.e. "1234 + Enter"

9: Input number anywhere and press Enter

10: System will restart again. Press ‘F9’ rapidly this time

      or in simple words "Open Boot device option"

11: Look for your pen-drive model in list (Yeah you have to put pen-drive in before)

12: For the same pen-drive there should be 2 entries. One entry will contain “UEFI” before name, don’t select that entry, select the other one without “UEFI” in it.

13: let your system handle the rest. Sit back and enjoy

14: When your system shutdown again. This time Restart it manually. Boom you installed it.

**If you feel like it. You can disable the “legacy support” from BIOS later.

If this helped .Go to your fridge and treat yourself, your deserve it 😄
