Reinstallation of HP Support Assistant

Hello

HP Pavilion dv7-1245dx (Win 7-64 bit)

Am having problems with the HP software on my laptop: I try to reinstall the latest version of the HP Support assistant on the HP site but get error messages and an unsuccessful installation or uninstall.

  1. 1.) HP Support Assistant has not been installed successfully. An error has occurred during installation:-3

  2. 2.) error code 1603: see Help (Msi.chm or MSDN) windows installer

  3. 3.) error code 1316: a network error has occurred trying to read the file C:\Windows\Installer\HP support Assistant.msi

Am appreciative of all the help available. Thank you, Bob

Hi cobb_bob, welcome to the Forums of HP. If you are having trouble to install the latest version of HP Support Assistant (HPSA), I suggest first to restore the original instance of HPSA using this method: use of the Recovery Manager to restore the software and drivers (Windows 7)

If that completes successfully, proceed to try the update:
HP Support Assistant

If you are still experiencing difficulties, consult this guide to troubleshooting HPSA.
Troubleshooting HP Support Assistant (Windows 7)

Let me know how it turns out.

  • HP Support Assistant broke up shortly after the upgrade to windows 8

    I use a 4 month old desktop HP Pavilion HPE h9-1130 Phoenix, with windows 8 pro (64-bit). There are 2 or more months, I upgraded to windows 7 (64-bit), and I followed the instructions of the windows Upgrade Wizard 8. He said not to uninstall HP support assistant, so I left. After the upgrade, which went through flawlessly, hp support Assistant works perfectly. But a few weeks or months, he ran an update, and update failed to start and the program crashed. Immediately after that, the icon of Wizard support hp in the taskbar has disappeared, as well as the program itself. It will be displayed on the list of programs, but I'm not able to uninstall or do something with it. I can't either start. I tried to get help from HP customer care, but they were a bunch of idiots who just wasted my time. I couldn't even communicate with them, because they were all Indians and speaks very by the English. I tried to ask to speak with a customer support English agent or a Manager, but they would put me on hold and it would never transfer, so I hung up. I think I spoke to 6 different customer support agents a few week spans and via different outlets (live chat, phone, email). One of the "agents of support" has been so incompetent that he spent an hour on the remote just link sitting there, doing repetitive things I told him constantly, I had already tried, like trying to do a base installation of the Web-_-... That said, I was wondering if someone could help me solve the problem, because I would like to have Deputy support back on my computer. But I am doing nothing tedious as a reinstallation of windows or something like that, because it's just ridiculous for a program very little relevant.

    Resolved, by none other than myself. No, thanks to HP customer care, or this forumn. Of a curious, I uninstalled a crap tone of the files and folders that are associated with HP Support Assistant, including HP, frame Support HP, HP Setup, HP Setup Manager support and many other files via Windows Explorer (by searching appropriate tab of the computer), Windows uninstaller and Revo Uninstaller free control panel. Once I felt I had managed to get rid of a bunch of broken files of shit, I tried to install a new HP SA on their site, but it wouldn't work. To fix that, I found that guests "Overwriting" mentioned above has led to the problem, which was "swsetup" and HP SA files have been left and prevented a clean install.  So to fix that, I deleted all pre-existing swsetup and files HP SA from Windows Explorer. After all this, I was able to successfully install SA HP, although I had to download it and then manually start the installation process by clicking on the executable file of the application in the new HP SA folder. Everything seems to work fine now, I ran pretty much all the features of the program and they work fine.  The only thing that seems to be a bit weird is that I updated the original HP Bluetooth driver and rebooted, but it seems not to save the update, as it is still prompting me to do it again.  This isn't a big deal, as an easy solution is just for x on this recommended update and hide.   I will update if something happens, but if I don't update, it means that the product works as it should.  Let's hope I don't have to deal with HP customer support once again, what a terrible experience!

  • HP Support Assistant works not properly?

    I used HP Support Assistant again. I got to the top of my pc and everything what every time she appeared. Suddenly, I click on it and it says ' tune-up next: unknown "," last update: never ', when I clearly did it before. So I try tuning it upward. Usually, there is a spinning ball thing, but this time there is nothing and he's just sitting there. I thought that if I uninstall and reinstall but when I go in uninstall a program, I do not see HP Support Assistant. (I don't know if it's called something else.)
    I'm not exactly a computer expert, so I am lost and so afraid that something crazy could happen, as HP Support Assistant is hit by a virus or something. I tried to open these tips on the view page, but he asks me what file I want to use to open it and I have no idea what to do. Please help me.

    Hello

    As the original installation looked he had corrupted in some way, it can not be uninstalled completely, which may explain the problem that you now when you try to run an analysis of the health.

    Assuming that this is the case, I suggest to go through the procedure of uninstallation and reinstallation HPSA (as shown again below) now that the uninstall routine seems to have recorded properly with Windows this time.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Firstly, uninstall your current version of HP Support Assistant by opening windows control panel, open programs and features, make the entry for HP Support Assistant right click and select uninstall.  Once this process is complete, restart the PC.

    Then download and install the latest version of HP Support Assistant of the page on the link below - the download links are to the bottom of the page.

    http://h18021.www1.HP.com/helpandsupport/HP-support-Assistant.html

    After installation, restart the PC.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    When it was finished and Windows is completely reloaded, see if you can now run an analysis of the health.

  • iPad, Safari froze and was told that I had to call apple for support assistance.

    My iPad Safari froze and was told that I had to call apple for support assistance.  I called and gave the last four digits of my serial number of the iPad.  They wanted me to download app and pay money, but it felt weird, so I hung up. Am I or my systems compromised in any way by calling and giving the serial number or hang up in time that nothing should be affected?

    Do this...

    Tap Settings > Safari and then slide down and tap clear history & data website, then reboot your iPad.

    The number they gave you is not Apple.

    Never give any personal data abroad on the net, including serial numbers.

  • HP laptop - 15-ay011nr: HP Support Assistant suggests an incompatible update to my system

    Hello

    HP Support Assistant suggested three updates for my system.

    When you try to download the wizard, all of the facilities have not (a phenomenon that has been described by some other posters in this forum).

    So, I looked for each three updates directly in the HP site, after finding my computer and the operating system (HP for computer laptop 15-ay011nr, 10 64-bit Windows).

    I have found two of the updates, but not the third, called: "Intel WLAN for Micorsoft Windows", with Softpaq number SP76133, version 18.40.0.9Pp2, if it is relevant.

    When I reviewed this softpaq number in the site, I have found, but saw that it's only for windows 7 and 8.

    Why the HP support assistant that suggest an update for my system win 10?

    Am I supposed to download it?

    If not, is there a way to stop the support Wizard to think that I should install it?

    Thank you!

    Hi all. My Assistant Support HP just upgraded to the new and does not work to search for updates at all. He goes on to say that he will search for drivers on - such and such date, then then I'll watch, and he will have a new date and said its never been updated. When I click Refresh, he said 'shutdown. Please wait... »

    When left alone for a minute he uses almost HALF of my computer resources, then I kill the process such that it does not show its actually nothing.

    The steps I've tried: uninstallation with Revouninstaller, resettlement, reset

    @troubleshoot411, welcome to the forum.

    I agree with using Revo.  This is my go to app for malware.  When you used Revo, you use the advanced option?  This will not only remove the program from the HARD disk, but it removes remnants of the BIOS.  If this is not the case, this could be the problem.  I suggest to try the advanced option to remove HPSA and shut down the computer.  Then, start and reinstall HPSA here.

  • Omen J2W10AV #ABA: driver Nvidia laptop HP Omen - HP Support Assistant or Nvidia Geforce experience?

    Is there a difference between the graphic drivers downloaded through Nvidia GeForce experience or HP Support Assistant? Their version numbers do not match. I currently use GeForce experience to keep my graphics driver updated, but I also have a problem with how strong the fan may be when you play. I didn't know how hard it gets. If the driver supplied by HP is better suited for this laptop?

    Appreciate any help.

    @Kimikaze ,

    Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forums.  When going with drivers for all laptops always stick with links and tools from manufacturers.  The reason is that pilots have been designed for this application.  They can use a similar number as a GT750 however chip the chip built for laptop him more often were modified slightly to adapt to demand.

    Link at the bottom, so only use the drivers from HP and tools for your HP laptop.  Direct drivers from the chipset manufacturer may not be the same and ask questions for you.

    Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

    You can uninstall it but are not recommended.

    I'm thinking the samething.

    It is important to keep an update to my view, so that you can keep your drivers up to date apps.

    The part of the maintenance of it I simply turned off altogether.

    I prefer to use other applications and Windows applications by default to keep my PC at its most beautiful.

    And I my maintenance once a week, most of the time, twice if not three times/manual including virus scans.
