Android 4.0 update

[#1]

I've tried several times to update my phone to Android 4.0 because Sony PC Companion says that I am due for an update.  Every time I try I get an error after 1.Start, 2. Prepare, saying :

This is my third time trying.  The last two times I tried were two weeks ago, and last week.  So obviously I'm waiting a while.  Has anyone been able to use PC Companion in the US (Northern CA)?  Is there a fix or work around so I can get the update?

Disappointed with ICS.  It disabled screen camera, zoom in and out on Yahoo e-mail, access to most games from Google Play, and LiveManager no longer functions properly.  Not a happy customer.  Tried to find a site to give feedback and most sites don't work.  😕
