I got the same problem on my VAIO VPCEB2M1E...

Does anybody  have a solution to fix this?

I have the same problem with my VPCEB1C5E.

I tried the manual install and it comes up with an error message saying a new version is already installed. But this is the newest version i am trying to update to.

My VAIO VPCEB2Z0E will not download the update manually too.

It says I already have the recent version installed, even though my VAIO is a day old and neither I or it has installed a Peripherals Metadata update.

Although I have not had any problems yet I find it dissapointing and frustrating that a brand new laptop worth hundreds of pounds is going to repeatedly tell me to update something which cannot be done and was never done originally.

open regedit, navigate to:

HKLM\Software\Sony Corporation\Shared Info\AppDb\Vaio Perpherals Metadata

or if you have 64 bit Windows:

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Sony Corporation\Shared Info\AppDb\Vaio Perpherals Metadata

you'll see that "version" field indeed have higher number than the update (1.1.0...)

change it to something smaller (e.g 1.0.1.12089) and close regedit

then run update

problem should be fixed
