Updating to Dell Command|Update v5.7.1
I manage a small group (13) of Dell computers for my church. They are all running the latest version of Windows 11 Pro and are 0-5 years old. I had some problems updating Dell Command|Update from v5.7.0 to v5.7.1. A couple of machines did it OK using the usual semi-automatic methods, but the vast majority didn't make it at all. Most gave a Microsoft Desktop Runtime error.
Here is the procedure that worked for all the machines that didn't upgrade using the usual means (Dell|Command Update itself or Dell SupportAssist):
1. Delete Dell Command|Update v5.7.0 using Control Panel --> Programs and Features.
2. Download and install Microsoft Desktop Runtime v10.0.11 (latest version available from MS).
3. REBOOT.
4. Download and install Dell Command|Update v5.7.1 from Dell.
This procedure worked well for me on all that machines that would not upgrade the usual semi-automatic methods. Don't forget the reboot before the final install.
