I had the same problem .What I found out is my Nortons Security flagged the exe file as a security risk and removed the exe file to quarantine.I had to go into Norton firewall to allow the system detect.The exe file is still in quarantine but my system still gets detected on the driver page since allowing the program through the firewall.What is interesting is it was not flagged until I updated system detect to the latest version.The system detect file that I allowed through the Norton firewall still has a big red X setting it as dangerous..Dell needs to fix their program to get it to play nice with security suites.Hope this helps .
Thank you for the reply. I have done what you recommended, however the outcome remains unchanged.
Immediately after I click the "install" button I got the message "Cannot start application - application cannot be started. Contact the application vendor." The details are of the error are the exact same.

Dell has nothing to do with the security suites. Norton and McAfee are very good Anti-virus software but both of them will block most of the programs you're trying to install. Furthermore, their components are over the place, including in your startup(booting up computer). Personally, I rather use windows defender by Microsoft than Norton/ McAfee. Anyway, I glad you provided a solution for others to see.

I'd suggest you download the free version of CCleaner and then uninstall the program. CCleaner will force the unnecessary program you want to uninstall.
I ended up uninstaling Norton and just using defender I reinstalled all the dell updaters but .I still had problems with dell programs.Windows 10 started blocking them I guess cause they couldnt run correctly..So I have uninstalled all Dell stuff and just look for updated drivers myself..Actually my system is running much smoother to tell the truth..It is not hard to download and install the drivers myself..And I should have said Nortons doesn't play well with others either.. :)
Hehe I did reinstall Dell programs but now with the FCU windows upgrade Defenders controlled folder access doesn't like programs running either. .Lol ya can't win. I tried to update my intel graphics driver and it blocked an exe intel driver from making modifications to protected folders. So until Microsoft fixes controlled folder access so it is easier to whitelist programs, I have turned it off. I also once again uninstalled the newer release of Dell system Detect because it was still producing the very same error. So once again I just manually check for drivers which is OK. The less errors a system produces the better it runs.

Hi,
We’re listening. We’d suggest you to delete the following and check the outcome.
ð Apps\2.0 folder, once deleted reinstall the same again
ð Path: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\

Do you have any other suggestions?
