Installation error with Dell Precision Optimizer 3.5.5 on Dell Precision 5510

Hello,

I tried to install the newly released Dell Precision Optimizer v3.5.5 (A00) August 18, 2016 on my Precision 5510, running Windows 7 64bit.

During the installation, an error panel pops up with this text:

> SetupNew\setup.cpp (140)
PAPP:
PVENDOR:
PGUID:
$
@Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (7601)
IE Version: 9.11.9600.18426

The installation then fails and the installer log shows the following:

Previous versions of the Precision Optimizer software installed fine. I tried both updating the previous installation as well as uninstalling and re-installing.

Any idea how to fix this?

Best regards,
