You can't even download stuff from Dell.com? Do you have an antivirus program or firewall blocking it, so you would need to allow downloads from Dell as safe?
If you're not having issues otherwise with the machine, you might want to hold off on the BIOS upgrade.
People were bricking their machines with the last BIOS (1.02) to the point that Dell pulled all R11 BIOS downloads for awhile.
The 1.03 hasn't been out that long, but also can install via Windows Update.
Anyway, any error message and if your machine otherwise is working, I wouldn't mess with it. It looks like lots of people are reporting hung installs for this new BIOS.

It just said it's an invalid file when I tried.
