Vista Tutorial - Problems with scanner, Windows Update in Vista 64 bit

I got a new computer, HP Touch Smart All in One with Vista 64 bit. I also got a scanner, HP scanjet G4010 that was supposed to go with Vista. Yet, it doesn't install. It downloads the software, (tried both from enclosed disc and from the website) but then it gives an MSI Error Error 1935 and the installation is aborted. Also, the computer doesn't accept the XML Core services 4.0 Service Pack that I am "summoned" to install or else. I spent hours upon hours with customer support from HP trying to resolve these issues. To no avail. I am at my wits end. Can anybody help?

I can't really help, but see:

If you have to try all the fixes suggested there, it ought to keep you busy
for a while.

The simplest one may be downloading and installing the .net redistributable.

I hope that one of them works for you.

I've been at that site already and tried the first things suggested. They didn't work or were not applicable. My error doesn't include the .net thing. And I am comfortable going to more advanced solutions since they mention that messing with such things might have dire consequences. I am in the process of researching and buying another scanner, on the list of compatible devices from Microsoft. I don't think other solutions work. I am on the point of giving up on this scanner.

The easiest way to find a new scanner is to find one you want, and then make
sure you can download a Vista 64-bit driver. I'm using an inexpensive Canon
scanner on Vista64 without problems.
