Vista - Vista driver update "disappearing" on desktop

After I downloaded a Vista driver update for a friends HP printer to their
desktop, I ran the application and watched as it extracted the files. As soon
as it reached 100%, rather than open up and begin running, it disappeared and
unfornuately, I have no idea where it went and why it did that. I have never
seen that before; is that something to do with Vista? Any help is
appreciated. I tried a couple of times to no avail.
Thanks

Something to try,
Right click Start, select Explore,
( if you only see a blue bar named Folders, click the arrow)
Expand Desktop,
Expand name of user, highlite Downloads.
