Other considerations would be the O/S of your system and the actual zip utility used to install the update, personally after searching the net for one year to find a really great and reliability zip utility I found PKZip.com.
Just as a precaustion I would use a trial of PK zip and then attempt the upgrade. Usually PKzip will allow a trial of their zip utility for 30 days.

Also the SD card method, I never got it to work as the Version 2.15 PDF file said, it always reset, no matter waiting what I think was.5 up to 3 seconds before pressing the +- keys.
