If it were me, I would just uninstall and reinstall the Alienware Command Center. It would probably be easier than trying to troubleshoot it from the .Net side.
If the error persists, you can see if Windows Update shows a pending .Net update, or if the problem started when the latest .Net update was pushed out by Windows Update a couple of days ago. If it started with the latest .Net quality update, you can rollback the update.
Uninstall Alienware Command Center from Program and Features
Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10: Right-click on the lower left-hand side of the screen
Windows 7: Click Start > Control Panel > Programs and features

Not all versions are for all models and there is no ONE click One size fits all.
OLDER models CANNOT USE the newest version
It’s worth noting that there may be additional modules of the software that you need to download to have the full functionality. One such module is the OC Controls software. If it still doesn’t work, you may have issues related to Microsoft Visual C++ runtime components.

Do you have alienware hardware installed and the lighting is not working properly? If so, maybe check for a driver update for your mouse / keyboard.
Or check for corrupted files with the system file checker command (SFC) command scannow
