If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Running Vista Home Basic and tryin to install an HO Officejet Pro L7580. Have tried the installation CD for Vista and the HP online download. Either way i get to 94% complete and get a Fatal Error message. The install reverses and removes the files then restarts the computer. Spent several hours on phone with HP and got no where. They sent me to Toshiba and they wanted me to do a system restore which I am not inclined to do to simply install a printer.
At this point i am stuck. I have the printer working on another laptop running XP with no problem.
The installation creates an error log that has this in the detail:

Now Launching+X:\hpzwrp01.exe -m dpinstxml_vista -1XXX -f X:\hpwins05.dat-Validate No dat-Validate No =Application did not return ERROR_SUCCESS. Returned 0x643 Exit Code=1603



Please help!!!!

A System Restore just takes you back a couple of days to (hopefully) when
the notebook worked corrected. It's a System RECOVERY or System REPAIR that
takes you all the way back to when the hard-drive left their facilities.
