Cannot install Download and support assistant

[lajko]

I cannot install latest version of DSA. I uninstalled previous version by DSAUninstaller, ran SSU and am attaching all logs. I ran drive scan, sfc /scannow and chkdsk /f/r and all were without errors. Really stumped now. Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

After you downloaded the IDSA installer, did you right-click it and click Run as administrator?

Correct Clarice. Still same result. 😓

lajko, Thank you for posting in the Intel® Communities Support.

In reference to this scenario, just to let you know, the Intel® Driver Support Assistant application only works with: Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. So, just to make sure, for testing purposes, did you try to download the exe. installation file using different browsers, try to clear the browser's cache, and then try to install and test the Intel® Driver Support Assistant?

Even though you mentioned that you already run the Intel® Driver & Support Assistant Uninstaller, just to confirm, was version 21.3.21.5 the one you used?:

Was Intel® Driver & Support Assistant tool version 21.3.21.5 the one you tried to install?:

Hello lajko, 

In order to help you further, please try the following:

- Attempt a manual deletion of the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Driver and Intel® Driver & Support Assistant (Intel® DSA).

Please let me know if this helped you fix the issue.

Best regards,

Hi Deivid,

As per your instruction it was deleted. I still cannot install (see attached png file). Thanks a lot for your help. Hope it will be fixed. To me (not too advanced user) it seems some registry corruption as the program points to that location. But that's my 2 cents...

Thanks again.

Please mark this issue solved. Couple of weeks ago I was trying Gilisoft FileLock Pro software. I happened to look there again right now and the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Driver and Intel® Driver & Support Assistant was Hidden. No idea how it happened as I never did hide it. Anyway I Unhide it and then removed it and sure enough DSA software installed. Sorry for all the trouble. Wish I would know how it happened but, I guess all is well again. Thank you all for all your help.

"Please mark this issue solved", perfect, excellent, it is great to hear the issue with the Intel® DSA got fixed after unhiding it, remove it and then confirm the Intel® tool was properly installed.
