Unable to download HP BIOS for all the Elitebook G7 and G8 models #311

The message is always "Warning: Unable to retrieve BIOS Download URL For HP Client Model: EliteBook 840 G8 Notebook PC".

I have checked the XML files for these models and it turns out that the Category for BIOS was changed by HP to "BIOS - System Firmware" instead of "BIOS" (see attached screenshot).

The script function Invoke-HPSoftPaqExpand has only two parameters: BIOS and Drivers, so here is the probably reason for download failure. For every HP Model with BIOS the download works correctly. But, where it is BIOS - System Firmware there comes the mentioned error message.

Any ideas for the quick fix of the script? I wouldn't want to mess it up. Or maybe was it fixed in some Beta-Version of the tool?
