Found an alternative driver installation package for my PC's Atheros Bluetooth adapter  ( Atheros AR3012 )
on the HP consumer support web-site :

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&softwareitem=ob-104097-1

This installs and the Bluetooth adapter works perfectly.

Any ideas why the Sony driver installation package is not working ?

Is there any chance that an updated driver package going to be available ?

Cheer,

Steven
