Dell System Detect Windows 7 Not starting
I am trying to install the newest version of Dell System Detect on my Windows 7 Pro SP1.
Downloaded DellSystemDetectLauncher.exe version 11.0.60315.1 to my desktop and tried to install from that location.
I am getting a error popup that says "Application cannot be started. Contact the application vendor."
I do have the latest version of .Net
Can someone lead me to a fix so I can install this application?
No Events found!

All,
I've run into the same error which is shown in this video here:
www.youtube.com/watch
Since I have .NET framework and Visual Studio 2008 installed with Windows 7 SP1.
PROBLEMATIC URL:
downloads.dell.com/.../DellSystemDetectLauncher.Application
Here is the actual issue with the .APPLICATION file trying to get DSD to work:
--- Inner Exception ---
System.Deployment.Application.InvalidDeploymentException (SignatureValidation)
- Manifest XML signature is not valid.
- Source: System.Deployment
- Stack trace:
at System.Deployment.Application.Manifest.AssemblyManifest.ValidateSignature(Stream s)
at System.Deployment.Application.ManifestReader.FromDocument(String localPath, ManifestType manifestType, Uri sourceUri)
XML Signature is not valid.
Workaround:
downloads.dell.com/.../index.html
Visit that URL and go to your specific model type/# and download the alternative diagnostics tool provided by DELL.
I had to actually get the 32bit diagnostics ISO image and burn to disc to run h/w tests to solve my issue.
Conclusion:
I wasn't able to test DSD any further to fully resolve this problem but that's the issue/working solution I used on Windows 7 Pro 64bit you can download currently.

System Detect is not a necessary program. Uninstall it if you cannot upgrade and have the older version that had some vulnerability to hackers. Read--

I know it is not necessary.
But I would like to install it any ways so I can run or at least test the diagnostics.
I can not uninstall something that is not installed.
I still want to know why I am getting this error?
Thanks for your answer in any case.

thank you @windows_10_user. it helps.
I make the answer shorter: go to downloads.dell.com/.../index.html
and find category:diagnostics and download it, install it.
