I finally got the Upgrade button ungreyed and the message that the update was in progress, only to then get the message that a component could not be found. However, is there a clue here in the following? I have spent eons on this! Fustration and anxiet ended. The fix worked perfectly. Launch Internet Explorer. Select Tools from the top menu, and click Internet Options.
In the panel that pops up, select the Security tab. Restart Internet Explorer and go to the address Security component upgrade. The Upgrade button should now be operational. I got it! I had to change the DRM file name, by going to DRM then properties, and typing in the new name in that box even though the file was ligher.
Then I had to delete cache, turn off the protected mode, then sign in as administer and it worked! I think I found the easiest work around. None of the solutions worked for me and then I did this: opened the DVD jaws in this case with file manager, saw the map called WMV, I tried to play the WMV, but then windows media player itself gave a prompt it needed an update to play the file.
I pressed udate and voila! I hope this works for some of you as well. I just upgraded to a new computer with Windows 8 and had the same problem. After two days of searching through all the forums except for this one , I accidentally stumbled on the same easy solution that Dylan above did.

Okay, I am with Thom as far as Windows 8 and have tried everything under the sun to get this thing working. I unfortunately do not have a file to click on and force the upgrade. I have done all the fixes above and still no luck getting the book to download. Another frustrating roadblock on Windows 8.
I would think they would have addressed this by now seeing how many versions of windows has had issues with it. Renaming the DRM file worked like a charm.
