Hi Mario,
My experience which clearly may not match is that dell drivers may
anticipate that you are running DOS under windows itself. if the
information does not specify which editions of Dos, perhaps? write to
their well staffed support discussion list outlining your problem, and
asking for which editions of Dos the driver was written. Has been a few
years, but my memory is that their support team really contributes to their
support discussion lists.
We got dell related work-arounds that way.
Much success,
Karen

Hi,
@Karen
Yes, the bios update file is stated for Windows/DOS; this is a paste from
Dell site:
"Description: This package provides the Dell System BIOS Update and is
supported on Dell Inspiron Notebook 7520 for Windows and DOS Operating
Systems."
@Christian
I've tried almost every pointed solution in those links, but none of them
mentioned the TEMP trick that Jim gave above. I might give it a try before
going to Windows PE.
Thanks you all for your attention and help.
Best regards

Hi Mario,
I do not run freedos, but ms dos 7 ish. However, I did spend some time a
while back working with this line, not specific model, of dell machines.
A few questions.
This bios update file is indeed specifically for dos?
meaning Dell specifically states on the download page where you found
the file that it works in DOS, including the editions of DOS?

Hi,
I'm trying to run a Dell bios update file for my Inspiron 7520.
I've created the FreeDOS usb stick, copy the bios update file to
it, can boot into it, return to DOS Prompt without installing, but
when I try to run the exe file all I get is (reproducing the FreeDOS
screen below):
C:\>>7520A09.exe
Test.
C:\>>_
Nothing else happens!
What else should I do in order to run this executable?
if you have trouble running a DELL executable, you should ask DELL
support.
Tom
