What were you trying to install when this error showed up?
There is a knowledge base article about this error, but it is somewhat technical.

From what I can tell from the article and your post, this seems to be an update from HP that was poorly programmed. I would check on their support website and see if they have posted a fix.

In the meantime, I would bring up Windows Task manager [ctrl-alt-delete keys] and stop the Windows Installer from running. You may have to navigate to C:\hp\tmp and delete the TrayApp setup program to keep it from trying to run again when you restart the computer.
