Hi,
Click the Start button and type %temp% into the search bar, then open the shown Temp folder.

Open the latest HP installation folder which begins with 7z (e.g. 7zs1234)
Open the Setup folder.
Locate the usbready.exe file and rename it into usbready.old.exe
Browse back to the main extraction folder (the folders who starts with 7z) and launch the Setup.exe file.

Now follow the installation and check for any difference.

Regards,
Shlomi

I have the same problem with my Photosmart Prem 410c - but it will not let me change the file name on any of the software.

How ingenious.

Similar problem - new dell desk top with hp photosmart C5550. Your solution worked beautifully.

Schlomil solution of 08/2016 worked great. Do I change the usbready.old.exe filename back to its original name or leave it?

This is a great help. Very frustrated trying to install an HP Photosmart D110. Thank you for the post.

Hi, I had the same problem as described above. I´ve changed the name of the file and installation was almost successful, but at the end, for some reason, the system does not recognise, that the device is connected to the computer through the USB cable. Can u help me with this problem? I have Photosmart Bf 109 and Windows 7.

 

(It worked perfectly with the previous version of the windows).
