Cannot update Firmware to ver 1.8

[EnlightenOnQ]

Trying to update laptop with the 1.8 versions and get two problems.

System: Sony Laptop runing Win-XP SP-3

Installed the Controller Mod program to 1.8.0 and it works fine.

Installed the firmware update program to 1.1 and i works fine.

First Problem:
Installed the XP-Update program (setupfw.exe) for the firmware updater and get this error: Cannot install the XP update.

an error occured attempting to install PS3 Ragnarok Firmware Updater Tool
Unable to locate application file 'PS3_Rag_FW_Inst.msi'.
See the setup log file located at 'C:\DOCUME~1\condraka\LOCALS~1\Temp\VSD248.tmp\install.log' for more information.


Second Problem:
Cannot un-zip the 1.8 or 1.8.2 using the windows zip program and get this error: File compressed (zipped) folder is invalid or corrupted.

Attempted to unzip using WinZip and 7-Zip and when unzipped the file extension is missing (.HEX). Then file is renamed adding the .HEX and attempting to use this with the ver 1.1 firware update tool it bombs and get the following error:

Unhandled Error:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.



Any help fixing this would be appreciated....

Thanks.

Did you .unzip the contents to your desktop or your C: drive first? It looks like it's trying to run by doubleclicking from inside the .ZIP but this could cause some problems.

Yes I unzipped to a seperate directory to install. The setup log file is the error log during install and is usually sent to the documents folder of the owner folder.

The setup starts but stops.

On the HEX file to update the firmware why is this not unzipping correctly?

On multiple computers I cannot unzip the universal driver. I get an error that the file is corrupted. Can you send me a clean copy of the hex file to enlighen@oh.rr.com

Thanks.
