Software update for xperia z phone

[xperz]

Hey i was going to update my phone software using the sony pc companion. But when i click start update on the computer it says i have to install some compatibility update from microsoft.  kb2917929. And also it provides a link to download it. 

Although i followed the steps as they have mentioned. i still getting the same message over and over again. 

Im using  windows 8.1. 

What is the reason for this 

Btw i heard that it is good if someone can update phone software using pc companion and its safer than updating it through phone directly. Is this true ??

Please give me the reason for top most question as well

As mentioned in microsoft web , i tried it in two ways. auto installing is not happening. So i tried installing it in mannualy. That is also not possible . it gives a error message. 

Its the above error message. 

As you posted in the message i tried using update service. And when i tried to download , it says page not found. 

Hey mate can i update my phone using my phones update center. I mean using a wfii connection . Update directly using my phone ?? is it a good thing or not
