I face the same problem for HP photosmart C7280 all in one wirelss printer.
all other pc n laptop with xp environment has no issue using the printer.
When i install printer software error message of "Windows installer stop
working correctly" close the prgram. it can continue to install but the
printer is not working 100%. a first print and scan works but fax does not
work. \hp chat suport give many 'solution' but problem remain the same.
the latest one is uninstall level 3 and reinstall back software. \no error
message pop up but both fax and scan can not function.
can not find hpsfx08.exe file when search in Run.
anyone can help me ?
Both Windows Vista and HP support are useless!!!!
