Long story made short - I bought my laptop with 4GB which was 2 x 2GB DIMMs, later I replaced these with 2 x 4GB G.Skills for 8GB. I thought maybe the installer had an issue with 8GB so removed one of the 4GB DIMMs. Same problem.... Then I removed both 4GB DIMMs and put the original 2 x 2GB Elpida DIMMs back in. And eureka! Problem solved.
This also solved a problem with the BIOS updater failing because of a version not identified error. I previously was able to overcome that with the /forceit /forcetype command line paramters.
Hope this helps someone. It was a really frustrating problem and Dell had no clue. Hard to believe their programming is so poor that the basic uitilities fail with the most common of computer upgrades!
Reply 1 : QuickSet "Not a supported system" problem finally solved !!
Haha, got two messages from you and I replied to the first without reading the second one that had your solution. I had to take some time searching online for a solutiona and I did find it as well but it wasn't clear enough so in short, I did the same thing you did. Pretty dumb if you ask me that Dell would cause this much trouble over a driver that just enables the function of buttons built in to a system you bough from Dell using a driver made by Dell. lol
