Cannot install HP OfficeJet 6600

Neither set-up disk not downloaded driver works.  Error message:  "A caller of DriverPackageInstall must be a member of the Administrators group to install a driver package."

What "Administrators group"?  I'm the only user and I'm the administrator.

Answer

When you start your PC are you given any options to log-in or does the PC auto start?

 

In Control Panel>All Items>User Accounts are you shown as the Administrator?

 

Have you installed any third party Optimizer utilities? 

When you start the HP installation cd does that then produce an err msg?

Hopefully, having created the user in the administrator group, you logged out and logged in as the new user. Then, ran the install.
