    Hi,

    sorry for the late reply i startet today to assist the guys from the english forum.

    Please deactivate your Firewall during installation and please remove SupportAssist install entries and install it again.

    The following steps can be used to uninstall the older build and do a complete clean-up of files from your laptop. From Step 3 onwards, if the mentioned folders are not present in your system, they can be assumed as already cleaned up.

     

    • From Add/Remove Programs, uninstall “Dell SupportAssist”
    • From Add/Remove Programs, uninstall “SupportAssistAgent”, if you have very old SupportAssist version.
    • Open a Windows Explorer and traverse to below directories and delete the folders completely manually if any leftover files are present.
      1. C:\Program Files\Dell\SupportAssist
      2. C:\Program Files\Dell\SupportAssistAgent
      3. C:\Program Files\Dell\DellDataVault
      4. C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\SupportAssistAgent

    Note: Ignore (x86) in above path, if your system is running a 32-bit OS.

     

    • From Start-> Run type %ProgramData% which will open a window with multiple folders. This is usually a hidden folder.
      1. Select “SupportAssistBusinessClient” folder and delete it.
      2. Select “SupportAssistAgent” folder and delete it, if you have very old SupportAssist version.
      3. Select “PCDr” folder and delete it.
    • From Start-> Run type %appdata% which will open a window with multiple folders. This is also a hidden folder usually.
      1. Select “PCDr” folder and delete it.
    • From Services console, ensure following services are NOT present.
      1. Dell SupportAssist
      2. Dell SupportAssist Agent
      3. Dell Data Vault
      4. Dell Data Vault Wizard
    • From Registry, ensure following keys are NOT present.
      1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DELL\SupportAssistBusinessClient
      2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Dell\SupportAssist
      3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Dell\SupportAssistAgent

    Note:- Incase if your Laptop is running a 32-bit OS, ignore the “Wow6432Node” in the above path.

    • Reboot your laptop once after clean up, before installing a new SupportAssist build.

    Hi,

    check if all the System requirements fit:

    If yes please check your firewall and Antivir guard.
