VAIO Update 3!

VaioWoman1 — Sat, 27 Jan 2007 22:09:40 GMT

I don't know if I do have a problem, but after having VAIO Update 3 for a while, for other reason, had to do a Recovery - and although I am all there with the usual updates etc.... have been waiting for the VAIO Update 3 to install as the next logical step and it has not. Where can I get it from? Anyone Please?

ps Had a look around but cannot seem to find it on support links!

Try looking in C:\Update for the download file SOAVUD.........

If it has downloaded and not installed, try double-clicking on the .exe file.

If it is not in C:\Update then it should offer it to you at Vaio Update - or have you lost the old Vaio Update 2?

Hi there & thanks for your response!

Do not have the VU3 in my Update files and yes still have VU2 in All Programs! It is not a downloadable option for me on http://www.vaio-link.com/vu/vu21/vu21.asp?l=en and at moment displays about 22 Intel WLAN updates Status= Downloaded on 21 and Status =Installed on one, which appeared this way after install of Lan and not before!

This problem happend in past and corrected itself after a couple of hours, but not this time and has been like this for a couple of weeks!

ps Can I pinch VU3 folder fom my Hubby Dubby's VAIO & place in my update; or am I being simple in suggesting this may work?

Hi, am i missing something. What is VAIO UPDATE 3?.
I have the same problem as VAIOWOMAN1 (21 wlan updates).
If i click the VU3.0 link, i get the message "HTTP 500 INTERNAL SERVER ERROR".

I get the usual message first about opening up in my trusted sites and click ok then:

HTTP 500
Most likely causes:
The website is under maintenance.
The website has a programming error.

When I refrsh:
This error (HTTP 500 Internal Server Error) means that the website you are visiting had a server problem which prevented the webpage from displaying.

For more information about HTTP errors, see Help.

Does you hubby have the same model as you and does he have the SOAVUD-01373802-UN folder in his C:\update folder..?

I can't see any reason why it should not install onto your vaio, if you copy the folder from your hubbys vaio to the C:\update on your Vaio and run the exe it should install ok...

I try to install vaio update 3 in my vaio FE31M and the software crash - unable to finish the installation. I send the report to sony.

I can't get anywhere with this! When i click Vaio Update 2 from All Progs or click the system tray, all i get is the website saying "sorry - under maintenance - please try later".Anyone got any bright ideas.

The problem still exist the program crash.

What browser are you currently using ?. Pref. Internet Explorer 7 or FireFox 2 are recommended.

All downloads should be located within C:/Update, Delete your TEMP & History folder for your internet browser.

Before you try to download the VAIO Update3 Download your Pre-Installed Utilites from VAIO-Link then install them in this Order
1 Sony Utilities (Installer Folder 1)
2 Sony Shared Library (Installer Folder 2)
3 Vaio Event Service (Installer Folder 5)
Then re-try the VAIO Update3 again, Hopefully this ahould work.
