Hi,

When did this issue first occur?

This Windows Installer error can be caused due to corrupt installation of certain software such as HP printer software.

I suggest we using the following tool to remove  hp solution center completely and restart the computer to reinstall the software. Note: Please make sure the installation disk or package for the program is available before uninstalling it.

1. Please download and install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility from this link:
download.microsoft.com/download/E/9/D/E9...48D5E1BD/msicuu2.exe

Note: although it is released as a Microsoft Office update, it can be used to fix Windows Installer.

2. Then, please run it from "Start" then "All Programs" then "Windows Install Clean Up".
3. Please select < hp solution center > and click Remove.

For more information, please refer to:

If it clean up utility does not work properly, you can remove the software manually.
