Firmware update via Kies Problem - Insufficient storage space

[Ben Carron]

I'm trying to update my SGS II to the latest KE4 firmware, I've yet to update it since getting it when it was released in the UK.
The problem is whenever I run Kies Air via a browser there's no option to upgrade.
Whenever I try the PC app and have the phone connected via USB everything works fine until I try to update, I get past the backup stage and then it initiates the update sequence then tells me "insufficient space available for update, requires 3000mb"
However my phone has 7GB free, my SD card has 5GB free and my computer hard-drive where Kies is installed (not C drive) has 10+ GB free... so I'm not sure where it thinks has insufficent storage space.
Also why does it need a whopping 3000mb? Seems insanely big for an update file to need that much.


I love my Samsung galaxy S2 but I really want to update it to get the minor features/improvements it adds

any help appreciated.
