I have the same problem, and went through the same sequence of steps. I have a Dell XPS 13 (9333). Windows 10 Home x64 edition. I have Dell Support Assist 2.2.1.23 installed.

Dell Command Update Error - Dell Community
March 13, 2019 - I was told that it is a known issue that version 2.3.0 newly installed on a PC running Windows 7 will prompt this error. The workaround for now is to uninstall DCU v2.3.0, install version 2.2.0 from the driver download page, then let it self update to 2.3.0. I can confirm that this works on the two models that I was having trouble with. The tech that I spoke with mentioned that they were in the process of publishing a KB article with this fix as well. ... I would like to know if anyone would know how to create my catalog.xml in dell command update.
