    seems you forgot to say upgrade word.
    not fresh installed.
    if you fresh install then there is no such thing. PP12.
    nor what OS is there now w8? w7
    the installer knows there is no PP12 support for W10 and stops, that tells you to
    1: remove PP12
    2; or do fresh install (always best) are you backed up your data, also not told this.


    well remove Paperport 12.
    first.
    then w10 be happy.
    the real problem is that you failed to ask HP.com for support on w10, and for a fact there is no HP support on w10 for THIS PC,!! fact.

    same as mine too, but have w10 on mine after
    disabling many failed things on said PC.
    all finger print readers first.
    windows 8 is max on this PC officially via HP.com
    on mine the hDD drop protectors software is dead too. so put in SSD and disabled that device in the BIOS.
    there is more dead things in the device manager too, but all are useless to me.
    I have sound and ethernet and wifi working w10
    0n mine. not advanced security toys.all are dead .
    w10 can be forces on this PC just takes lots of hard work, ok? are you up to work?

    you can sometimes force w8 drivers on to W10
    but I will not cover that here, in fixya
    but google this.
    loading w8 drivers to w10 in compatibility mode.?
    bingo, vast vast examples, even microsoft.com tells you how.

    upgrades are very hard, if lots of apps loaded that do no support w10, ! or hardware.

This Error 1702 problem can occur if all the following conditions are true:

  • You originally installed Office from a network administrative installation.
  • The network administrative installation is no longer available to you.
  • You are trying to use an Office CD-ROM when you are prompted by the Windows Installer for an Office source location.
  • You click Cancel when you are prompted to insert the CD.
Because the files in an administrative installation are uncompressed, and the files on an Office CD-ROM are compressed, the Windows Installer cannot resolve the differences between the two source types. The resolution to this problem depends on whether you can obtain access to a network administrative installation. Use the following methods, as appropriate to your situation.

If the original administrative installation from which you installed Office is not available, you can use a different administrative installation for the Office source file location. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start and then click Run.
  2. In the Open box, type a command line similar to the following, and then click
    OK new network path\Setup.exe /fvm package name.msi
    where new network path is the full path to the alternative network administrative installation, and
    package name is the name of the Windows Installer .msi package on the root of this administrative installation (for example, Proplus.msi).
  3. Click OK when the update is finished.

I am trying to install Paperport 9.0, which I once had on another computer. Each time the Wizard stops installation with an 'Paperport 9.0 Inside Information' with an error sign: Internal Error 2723 New...

Unfortunately, the newer version of PaperPort has left the traces in the registry. You can try to manually search and edit the registry or try one of the PaperPort Removal Tool options.

Backup your computer before trying the following steps. To edit the registry, make sure that you are using the account with Administrator privileges. Click Start and choose Run (for Windows versions 7 and down). For Windows 8, 8.1 and 10, click the Start button and type run. (With Windows 10, you can also right click on the Start button and choose Run.) Type in regedit. Use the Edit > Find command to search for PaperPort keys. Export the key to a file with the File > Export command. Then delete the key. You will need to restart the computer after closing regedit to load the new registry.

Alternatively, try one of the Nuance PaperPort removal tools. See http://nuance.custhelp.com/app/answers/list//p/26/kw/What%20are%20you%20looking%20for?#s=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 . for links to the removal tool for various versions of PaperPort. Note: if you have a CD with PaperPort 9, it will have the PaperPort 9 removal tool in a sub-directory. You will need administrator privileges to run the removal tools. This is a much safer option than regedit for most users. However, you need to know which version of PaperPort was installed. I'd try the PaperPort 9 unistall tool first. The last time PaperPort was installed, the system probably checked for updates and some patches were applied.

I hope this helps. You may want to clear the temporary files as well by using a Disk cleanup option. From File Explorer, right click on the hard drive icon and choose Properties. In the General tab, you will see an option for Disk Cleanup. After doing a basic cleanup, consider going back and press the Clean Up System Files button to get rid of more temporary files.

Problems installing ms office pro 2007

hi Error 1706 is a Microsoft error that is sometimes generated when you install a Windows package from some form of removable data. Examples of removable data would be a CD-ROM or a DVD. Typically, the exact text of Error 1706 will include the phrase "no valid source could be found."
One of the usual causes of this problem is that the Windows Installer or MSI file is not residing in the root folder of the media that is found on the removable data. This does not mean that the MSI file is not somewhere on the media -- just that it is not in the folder that your system is checking. While, in most cases, the Media Package Path would be altered to create a clear path to the MSI file.

thank you
