Update installation cancelled

I get Hewlett Packard Updates on a routine basis. I have owned the computer for about 45 days and have received app 6 updates. They are:
HP Security Update
Realtek high definition audio driver update
Intel matrix storage manager driver update and
Windows help and support update

Each time I have tried to install them and each time I have received a note in the status column that "installation cancelled"?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Personally, I would try using Windows Update, rather than the one that HP supplied. Windows Update knows your hardware (most of the time) and is often less bugged than 3rd party update software.

However, this is a matter of personal opinion. If you like the HP Update software, let's troubleshoot this.

I have the same problem with update.

Thanks Tom (twlykins), your solution Run this program as administrator
was the solution and update are now done..

I'm having the same problem with HP installations being canceled. I just recently purchased this laptop with Vista Home Premium x64, but I'm still used to XP. I haven't had the time to get all of the Vista tricks down.

I was following the steps recommended above, to change the Privilege Level so that the updater runs as Administrator, but the option is grayed out.

I am the only user on this computer and should have full administrative privileges, so I'm not sure why I wouldn't have that option. UAC has been disabled.

Anyone have any additional suggestions for a Vista noob?

I may stick with the Windows updates like some have suggested, but it bothers me that I don't have the ability to run something as administrator when I *am* the administrator.

Thanks!

Suzanne,

You can 'Run this program as an administrator'' with UAC enable or disable.
But for permanent change:
The checkbox to "Run this program as an administrator" under the Compatibility tab of an .exe's properties is always grayed out if UAC is disable.

Re-enabled UAC to have the option back.

Thanks!

So, I need to enable UAC, check the box to run that one .exe as administrator, then disable again (assuming I don't want all the other annoyances that come along with UAC)?

Wow... I knew UAC was supposed to be a pain when it's enabled, but I didn't realize I'd start running into problems if I disabled it.

Thanks again,
Suzanne

I believe this statement is totally incorrect:

"Windows Update knows your hardware (most of the time) and is often less bugged than 3rd party update software."

I've actually had numerous bad experiences where MS drivers and software updates for hardware caused severe problems. Why would MS know how to create drivers better than the manufacturer of the product? They have less invested as well. I rarely ever install the drivers from MS update.

I have UAC disabled for months now on my home computer. No problems.

This worked for me after months of frustration, thanks Tom!

I finally found this after being prompted to download the "installation cancelled fix" update and having the installation cancelled!:sarc:

Thank you Tom, you rock!!!

Thanks guys... I just did a search for this issue because HP's 'Urgent; HP Update fix for "Install Cancelled issue" was not installing. LOL You guys fixed it, and HP missed the boat I guess.

Thanks Again.

The 'Run as Admin' totally worked. Thanks! Yes HP tech support sucks!

Got it! Thanks Tom. Forgot to right click. Reread it when I was awake, instead of tired out, and it made sense. After months of no installation, it works!
