There happens to be tonnes of processes happenning when I try to use Vaio update.

What you hope would be happening is whatever process that is doing the update be recording some log entries.   You could try finding such items with a filter specifying  Operation Is WriteFile.   Just finding a (hypothetical) log file that way may be enough.  E.g. before doing anything more with ProcMon at that point press Ctrl-J (jump) to that file's folder and open the file.  You may get enough clues that way about what is happening.  In any case, you will then have the name of the process and its location.  So open that up (if it still exists--remember my warning about closing message windows?) and see if you can rerun the update in compatibility mode or elevated or whatever else you think you need to try to change your symptom.

But if the update is installed why do you care if their installer is not working?  Let them debug their own problems.  They have the source and documentation for what they are trying to do.
