New WinDVD BD update 8.0.9.301_3 dated 17.03.08

marcoda — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 14:35:46 GMT

Has anyone had any luck installing this update?
Tried with my FZ21Z running Vista and get message "a fatal error has occurred while installing WinDVD" at the Installshield Wizard. The green progress bar only gets half way.
Any ideas?

I'll post here if I get anything sensible out of Sony Support.

Can you all check which version of WinDVD BD you already have installed and post the answer here?

It will be the first question that Vaio-Link will ask, so if we can give them some info, it may help get a solution.

Open WinDVD BD -> Right-Click on the WinDVD screen -> Settings -> select the final Tab and read the Version.

Hi Blencogo, my WinDVD version is 8.0 DXVA B08.425, on a FZ21M.
I also found this version of WinDVD not stable enough and sometimes it just hangs forever and I have to manually close it.

Hi all,

Sony are still working on the problem and have asked if it would be possible for one of you to recover your C drive back to factory settings and then try to install the Win DVD bd updates..?

Also did any of you install the Vista PS1 update prior to trying to install the WinDVD BD update 8.0.9.301_3.?

I'm afraid I really don't relish recovering my system but I have informed Sony eSupport already that I first had this problem before I installed SP1. I then installed SP1 and tried again with the same result.
