"BIOS 1.48 Update Fails citing requirement for WMI Provider 6.5.13.1"

I started from BIOS 01.04.

 

My solution steps:

  1. Go to BIOS 01.48 page but scroll down and expand Previous version
  2. Download BIOS 01.33 (sp71828.exe) and install it. This one does not need WMI Provider 6.5.13.1 and the installation will be successful. 
  3. Download latest BIOS 01.48 (sp99022.exe). Run it and at the error, closed it. This will not update the BIOS but it will create the folder SP88022 in C:\SWSetup
  4. Go to C:\SWSetup\SP71828 folder and copy HPBIOSUPDREC64.exe (ver. 1.0.27.1) file. Then go to  C:\SWSetup\SP99022 folder and paste (replace/overwrite) the existing newer file (ver. 1.1.22.1). 
  5. Run HPBIOSUPDREC64.exe from SP99022 folder. Now BIOS update to 1.48 will work 🤓
