Resolved Update Boot ROM firmware? Can't do it!

[hfg]

Hi-
I received the following message when trying to access BootCamp Assistant on a late 2011 Macbook Pro:

Boot Camp Assistant cannot be used.

You must update your computer's Boot ROM firmware before using this setup assistant.

I seem to have the correct version according to Apple Support page, and I tried applying the update and it wouldn't do it.

http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1499
Boot ROM or SMC Version Information: MBP81.0047.27
(note: there is a "B" in my version number: MBP81.0047.B27)


My system info says:

Hardware Overview:

Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro8,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 16 GB
Boot ROM Version: MBP81.0047.B27
SMC Version (system): 1.69f3


I do have a SSD installed in place of the HD, but BootCamp Assistant has worked OK up to now.

Any ideas what to do next?

Never mind ... I was able to correct the error by resetting the PRAM.
