Dell Support Assist

Dell Support Assist was not working, so uninstalled and tried to reinstall.  But when I try to reinstall error message states that DSA is already on the system.  ??  Have looked for it in C:\Programs and Programs - nothing.  Whn this app was working was very helpful, but now pain in the butt!

Just created a local account as you suggested, but I downloaded DSA from Dell and got the same message as before.

 

Installation Canceled 

The latest version of SupportAssist is already installed.

Latest windows update broke the Hardware Analysis run. It's been broken sense 2-15ish.

your fine, Dell is simply being lazy on getting it resolved.

Having issues as well with Support Assist. Uninstalled but now can’t get it to re-install. Get error “Installation failed” with message to reboot and try again. Same thing happens if I try running any scan (quick or full) under Diagnostics in my Dell account online.
