Dell Command Update - Return Code 2
Earlier this week my test device updated DCU to 4.7 UWP from DCU 4.6 Classic (apparently Classic is being retired and clients moved to the UWP version). Today I have come to download the installer and I find that the download has been removed from Dell. I am currently on about 50/50 endpoints self-upgraded. Does anyone know what has happened?
Hello there,
The Return code of 2 generally means that a file was not found. As the Dell command update has passed through may be this might a different error message meaning in your scenario. Can you see any other Event ID being generated to narrow down the issue?
Check the bdd.log file and see what it says. Per my personal experience, unexpected code 2 usually means file not found, incorrect file path, or permissions.
The below thread discusses the same issue and you can try out some troubleshooting steps from this and see if that helps you to sort the Issue.

I was getting the same error code on my installation, but finding that the application was installed. After searching I found that Error Code 2 for Dell Command Update indicates that a reboot is required.

I wish there was some uniformity between vendors when it comes to error codes.
Hello Community,
I use Dell Command Update to install updates on my Dell XPS DA16260.
Officially—according to my service tag—Dell recommends DCU version 5.4.0, A00
(https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-uk/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=6vfww&oscode=w2021&productcode=xps-da16260-laptop&lwp=rt)
However, there is a universal, significantly newer version: 5.7.0, A00

Is there any reason not to use the latest version?
