That solved it. Everything is now updated. Thanks for the help.
What I think I learned:
1. SmartWizard does not work for boot upgrades. The TFTP process is required.
2. The TFTPD32 application worked fine as a local TFTP server, with the one caveat that it has to be closed and restarted again after every reboot of the GS752TS inorder to re-find everything.
3. After a boot upgrade, a software reset is not sufficient. A power-off reboot is required.
4. For the Firmware upgrades, SmartWizard works well, and it automatically resets the switch after the upgrade.
