Install overview

The software for the product comes on a single CD. The software installer first checks the versions of
Windows Installer and Microsoft .NET installed on the system, and then installs the printing-system
software from the CD onto the hard disk and updates Windows files.
Depending on the configuration of your computer as well as the installation method selected, the
following components might be installed during the printing-system software installation:
HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color M551 PCL 6 print driver
●
HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color M551 User Guide
●
UnInstall utility

For all of the supported platforms, each install option presents a series of query dialog boxes that guide
you through the installation process.

Software Installer system check

The software installer checks the computer system to ensure that the following Windows features are the
correct version to support the printing-system components.

Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1

When the user starts the installation process, the product software installer checks the computer system
to determine the version number of the Windows Installer currently on the system. If the product
software installer detects that the Windows Installer version is prior to version 3.1, a dialog box
appears alerting the user that the Windows Installer must be updated. The user must click the OK
button to continue. The product software installer then updates the Windows Installer and continues the
HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color M551 printing-system installation process.
To determine which version of Windows Installer is currently running on the computer, follow these
instructions.
1. For Windows 7 and Windows Vista, click the Start button, click the Control Panel option, and
then click the Programs option.
For Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, click the Start button, click the Control Panel
option, and then double-click the Add/Remove programs option.
2. Scroll down until you find the entry for the Windows Installer.
