Skins error or error related to hpqselsk.exe


The previous versions of HP software created HP1 & HP2 folders at the following location: $System Drive$\Program Files\HP\Digital Imaging\Skins\
But in the newer versions, the HP2 folder is not longer generated & has been replaced by a folder named OOV1.

NOTE: Incase, either of the folders in missing, manually create the folder.

Besides using the compatibility change to resolve the skins related errors, the following may also be used.

  1. Browse to the location  $System Drive$\Program Files\HP\Digital Imaging\Skins\ and ensure that there are 2 folders: HP1 & OOV1
  2. Copy all the contents of HP1 to OOV1. Ensure that skins.xml is one of the files copied.
  3. Restart the system & open the HP Director or Solution center

If this still fails to remove the error:

1.      Browse the AIO installation disk to the following location: x:\setup\skinshp1\ and double click on SkinsHP1.msi
2.      Expand the files to the location $System Drive$\Program Files\HP\Digital Imaging\Skins\HP1
3.      Copy the contents of HP1 to OOV1.
