How do I uninstall HP Solution Center Software

I found this one site that gave some clues:

The software from HP.com is an executable that unzips somewhere and this site showed me that it ends up in %TEMP%/ 7z????? folder(s)

I finally got my install to work by running the Level 3 uninstall referenced below, along with disabling all non MS services also referenced below, and just installing the minimal amount of software (no OCR, no photo crap, ...).  I am connected by USB and during the install segment where you connect the USB, I got an usb software driver error, so I pulled the usb cable plugged it back in and then the install continued.

Here is an extract from that site:
