Hi Richard and welcome.

For licensing reasons, PowerDVD can only be upgraded if it is already installed on your Vaio. If you look at the size of the PowerDVD upgrade file, you will see it is only 125KB.

The full installer version cannot be downloaded. The only way to reinstall PowerDVD is by reverting to factory settings with Windows 7 using your Recovery Discs and then using the Sony upgrade kit to install Windows 8 once again.

Alternatively, you could install different BD Player software. Unfortunately, this costs money unless a free BD Player like DAPlayer is good enough.
