Hi,
Thank you for writing to us!
There is no issues,however we would recommend you to follow a sequence when you search for the drivers for your system on the Dell site you will see a tab which says " important" click on that and you will get the order.
kindly private message the service tag and email address.
Thanks

Yes, it might be a error if you're trying to install latest BIOS version(A19) from a very old version on your system. For example; latest BIOS version for Vostro 3460 is A19, if ether one of BIOS versions( AO1 - A14) is on the system then it might give you a error, usually it will tell you the latest BIOS version can't be updated.

I'm assuming you updated BIOS version A17 successfully and without any error. If yes, then I would think A19 will be a success as well. If your system is running well and you aren't comfortable installing BIOS version A19 then I suggest you don't install right now, You can always come back later and update when you're ready. By the way, no one can guarantee there won't be an error when updating latest BIOS version.
