Deskjet 2050 will not install on Windows 10

[SoundGuyMango]

I'm unable to install a DeskJet 2050 on Windows 10.  The error is:

---

Installation Error
The Operating System of this computer is not supported.  This software can only be installed on computers running the following Windows Operating Systems: 1) Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or better (32 bit only); 2) WIndows Vista; 3) Windows 7.  Upgrade the Operating System of this computer or install this software on another computer system.

Support.hp.com says both the Full and Basic driver I download has "added support for Windows 10".  I have tried to run the installer as Administrator and in Compatibility Mode for Windows XPSP3/7, and also extracted the files in the installer, set all of the EXEs and MSIs in compatibility for XPSP3 or 7, and tried to run them as administrator.  I also tried to install in Safe Mode but that didn't work becuase the Windows Installer service wasn't running.

I did not get the time to try the Windows Built-in Print Driver and will try that next.  If that method works, is that likely to also make the scanner work?

I hope that helps !


Can I ask you a favor ?

If the question is clarified, mark my answer as "resolved" and click on the icon of the "hand" to provide "congratulations" in recognition.

Have a nice week !

Unfortunately, neither of those worked.

Using the basic drivers for now, but it would be nice if HP fixed the Full driver so it works with Windows 10.
