Hi IzaSpud:

What is your Dell computer model, the version and OS build number of your Windows operating system [open a Run dialog box (Windows key + R) and enter winver] and your current BIOS version (open a Run dialog box, enter msinfo32 to open your System Information, and look for the field named "BIOS Date/Version")?.

What is the name of the installer you are trying to run (e.g., Dell-Alienware-Update-Windows-Universal-Application_D8MGW_WIN64_5.5.0_A00_03.exe)?  If you save the .exe installer to your desktop and then right-click the .exe file and choose "Run as Administrator" what error message do you see?
