I have it installed. Seems plug and play.

Not exactly plug&play,  depending on your model , installation etc. it may behave differently.

The problem with this installer ( seems to be a patch) is, it stalled at the awcc_core install and finished saying it had been interrupted ( does not say by what) as a result, it left a little mess.Had some of the old version and new version install, it disabled the dell/alienware client management service and the overclocking in the bios. All that resulted , when I started awcc with the famous and never ending extra component download, and the alienware update program died...etc,  I finally got it (5.5.8) working but took some time.. and alternate methods

Version 5.5.0  v2 was running ok  but v1 installer was another bad one.

Hello Chris M,

I saw 3 companies updates, Microsoft,Intel and Dell

Amazing good job and special thanks to your whole team and specially Simran, Tarik, Magendra and Dell - Cares.

Those 4 are top of the build support, respect for that!

Updated perfectly, just needed 2 reboots.  Its still odd with the R13 being the flagship, has been out about 9  months now, and the fan labels still do not match their locations.  

@steadler and the others ...

Good posts here about how this version installs and works.

However, might help developers if you also additionally mention your exact Alienware model in your reports.

Area 51 R5; updated AWCC 5.5.8.0 with 2 reboots . . . no unusual problems

R10  v1,  mobo 0NWN7M , bios 2.2.6,  ATI AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT.

It stalled at the awcc_core  then installsheild said "interrupted install" ... finish

When you look at the log file you find : Vendor Software Return Code: 1602 not found

in the mup.xml file.

Error codes listed in the mup.xml file are:

0


1603


3010


1633


1608


1638

I got the exit code: "1"  you need an exit code "0" success

So they need to find out what the 1602 code is.

The main problem it set's and reset's the client management service to disabled ( one can restart that service manually but will go back to disabled.No matter what.

Second: It did not completely the 5.5 version, so you got  5.5.8 and 5.5 entries

NO worry I've got it working after I've cleaned  that mess-up . They have to lookup what is "1602"

This software installer in very small only 12.8 MB  so it must download a "package" if a glitch occurs that's it. Don't seem to have an escape from glitches.

R13. Installed with no issues. Thanks. Luckily saw that this was a prerequisite to installing BIOS 1.4.0. BIOS also installed without issues.
