Windows Error Message: Windows Installer Cannot Be Accessed

I am trying to install a HP Deskjet 3050 on my mothers wireless network. At every attempt I get the error "Windows Installer Cannot Be Accessed". So far I have done the following.

1. Downloaded and attempted to install the latest Win 7 drivers and software.

2. Loaded another application to make sure it was not the disc or drivers.

3. IAC MS Knowledge Base I went into msconfig - services and disabled and re-enabled the installer and rebooted.

4. Talked to HP Support, only thing they had to say was that I needed to update the installer. I had already done that. Current ver. is 5.1.

5. Ran a Registry Mechanic to auto fix registry errors.

6. Tried a 3rd party installer.

So far, nothing has worked. I Googled the problem and although there are plenty of network issues I did not find anyone that said they had this same issue.

ANY suggestions, ideas, solutions, thoughts or anything else would be greatly appreciated.
 
Are you using the cd that came with the printer to install it? If so, try downloading the software from their website and try it. Something could be wrong with the cd.
