Dell Support Assist Installation Cancelled

Every time I try to install dell support assist via the installation pack, it says: 

"Installation cancelled
We encountered an unexpected error while installing SupportAssist. This may be due to a lost internet connection."

I hope somebody can help, thank you.

Hi

 

I am still experiencing the exact same issues. When I try to update to the latest version from the Dell website

for my dell xps 8900. I get the message 'Installation cancelled we encountered an unexpected error while installing SupportAssist this may be due to lost internet connection'

I am using version 2.0.6875.668 which I have been able to reinstall, it still works.

When opening the program it does say start to download and I get the message update complete but the program just will not update. Ive tried everything including uninstalling with Revo Uninstaller, nothing appears to work. Dell please fix this program.

I have the same problem too with my XPS13 Earlier installation of Supportassist has disappeared. When I try and get updates fro Dell website it requires another download of support assist which then fails "Installation cancelled. We encountered an unexpected error while installing SupportAssist. This may be due to a lost internet connection. Check your connection then try again" No problem with internet connection as ability to write on this board confirms.

There are numerous instances in the past on the forum for this same problem. It looks like it is not a problem with your system but rather a certificate validation error with Dell's software. Since a number of users are experiencing this error possibly Dell techs can address this issue.
