MM 246 latest firmware ver. 1.008 ?

I just acquired the 246 and wanted to update to the latest firmware (it came with Ver. 1.004). I found that ver. 1.008 was available.  Unfortunately when i try to install the new version I keep getting the "File not found. Please insert memory card with correct firmware file" message, and the camera hangs to the point that i need to remove the battery to turn it off.  This has never happened to me, and I have updated firmware files on other Leica cameras.  

Since the website does not specify if this is an update for the new 246 M, I was wondering if this an update for the old MM model only?  The file itself is dated Sept. 2, 2014 which seems a little old since the 246 just came out.  Has anyone else had this issue or installed Ver. 1.008 successfully?

thanks in advance for the help/info

1.008 is for the original Monochrom. I'm sure when there is an update for the Typ 246, it will be labeled as such.

The old and the new M Monochrom are totally different cameras with a different sensors, different processors etc.. A firmware for one is incompatible with the other.
