Just checked the Europe link - still seems to be only v1.5.2. US is v1.6.0.

Sorry, they do appear to be a little slow in Europe! It's not on the UK site either. Hopefully that's sorted before today is out.

V1.6.0 now on both UK & Europe sites.

I tried to install following procedures, formatted card in-camera, camera in "P" setting, firmware installed in the root directory. But message says that memory card containing firmware is required to update. I've successfully updated this camera several times but this is a fail.

Sounds like it's not either not recognising the memory card or the update file. Have you tried with another card? Also did the file unzip correctly? You might also want to try downloading and unzipping it again.
