Hi,
You mentioned you have the K-5IIs. I too have one and updated my firmware to the 1.07. Below are part of the instructions listed on the Ricoh/Pentax site. So, if you are going according to the instructions and I am assuming you are using the Windows version of the files, you would download the appropriate folder for Windows, double click it to extract the fwdc218b.bin file, then copy the fwdc218b.bin file to the root of your SD card. After you do that make sure your camera is off and that the battery is removed and you are not hooked up to your computer. Then start with the no. 2 instruction stated below starting with inserting the battery and go on through the other steps. I did not have a problem. Of course please be careful, and like I stated I am assuming you are using the Windows version of the download, if not please make sure to use the appropriate one (other is Windows/Macintosh). One more thing, make sure the SD card you are using has been formatted in your K-5IIs also prior to doing the procedure. That way it should be user friendly to your camera.
These are the two choices of self extracting file folders that are available, one for Windows and the other for Windows/Macintosh. After moving the appropriate one to your desktop, double click on folder to extract bin file, move bin file to root of SD card.
[K-5IIs]
•For Windows : k5_2s107.exe 10,134Kbytes, LHA type, self-extracting files
•For Windows/Macintosh : k5_2s107.zip 10,064Kbytes, zip type
Good luck.

Updating Procedure
1.Provide a formatted SD memory card for the update software.
The download file is self-extracting. The following file is extracted. •[K-5II] Fwdc216b.bin: This is the updated firmware.
•[K-5IIs] Fwdc218b.bin: This is the updated firmware.
Copy the above Firmware file [fwdc216b.bin] or [fwdc218b.bin] to the root directory in the SD card.
If your computer does not have a card slot, you can copy the firmware update file by inserting the SD card into your camera and then connecting the camera directly to your computer.
2.Insert the the D-LI90 battery into the camera and confirm the battery is full by battery level indicator then turn the camera off.
3.Insert the update SD card (prepared in step 1) into the camera and close card cover.
4.Turn the camera power on while pressing the MENU button.
5."NOW LOADING" appears in the LCD monitor, and will change to the "PROGRAM UPDATE". At the bottom of the LCD monitor,

6.Press the four-way controller to select "YES" and press the "OK" button.
7."UPDATING" appears on the LCD monitor and updating starts.
Please do not under any circumstances switch off the power before the update is completed.
