For the latest EOS capture (v2.x).
Just select the text below and paste it into a new notepad file. Save the file as EOSCAPTURE.REG then run.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\EOS Capture]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\EOSViewerUtility]

Hey…that registry thing worked Thank you!!

regedit worked for me too!!!
thanks

Big Thx registry trick works with DPP V3.0.2.

But you can´t use Winrar (or WinZip) to extract that folder structure… (maybe they fixed this)

does anyone know a way around for MAC?

You sir, are a saint! I was getting so frustrated my head hurt ’til I found your page

Thank you, very much.

very best site

thanks guys!

Million thanks

hi,

it worked with me too, but pitty that i cant see the image real time on pc, i have to click to see.

does anyone know a similer workaround for mac ?

The extract trick no longer works with the latest update packages. Registry key works a treat though, thanks.

Hyb thanks for the info I will update the post accordingly

10/10 – great fix!!!

Vista solution…

…One just needs to execute the downloaded file ‘k7a06enx.exe’ (DPP 3.2), monitor the temp folder (while executing) and copy the extracted folder (C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\CanonUPW_000) to another location. Cancel the original installation of ‘k7a06enx.exe’, and run ‘\INST\INSTALL\COMMON\Install.exe’ to install DPP 3.2 without having to have a previous version installed. Worked for me!

Thank you!!! Search my fingers blood red until I found this site. Worked 100%, even for Vista.

Legend – this has been annoying the hell out of me for ages – I don’t WANT all the other Canon crap installed, just Photostitch…

This hack ROCKS!!!

This is awesome! Thanks much.

Super Hack. I tried the Anon solution on XP and it works fine. There is a 2.CAB file in root directory (23MB) which doesn’t seem to be needed for the installation.

I presume that DPP can not be made portable (i.e. run from USB stick, without having to have administrative privileges to install it)? If not, what else can be erased to make the installation files bundle leaner?

[...] Try the registry hack [...]

Compliments ……… The first solution is GOOD

Regedit worked for me on PhotoStitch. Just create a new key called PhotoStitch, it can be totally empty, then run the PhotoStitch updater and it works just fine.

I have windows vista and the registry trick makes it unpack zoombrowser but it comes back with a error Zoombrowser EX not found install zoombrowser ex before launching this setup program. I dont understand Anon above any help

Works great!, thanks!

Solution one:
1) Open the registry editor: Start=>Run=>Regedit
2) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
3) if not already created, create a new key called Canon
4) Inside that new key create an additional one called ZoomBrowser Ex1
5) Run the ZoomBrowser updater you had previously downloaded, it should now pass the check status and install correctly

—> This works on Vista 32 bit. Many thanks!

worked straight away for PhotoStitch. i have been looking for days for a way to reinstall it without the CD!!

La solución 1 me ha funcionado perfectamente para instalar EOS Utility en Windows Vista 32 bits, sencillamente creando la clave siguiente:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\EOS Capture

¡Muchísimas gracias!

Solution 1 has worked OK to install EOS Utility in Windows Vista 32 bits, simply by creating the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\EOS Capture

Thanks a lot!

Perdón, la clave correcta para EOS Utility ha sido:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\EOS Utility

—-

Sorry, the correct key for EOS Utility was:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\EOS Utility

Thank you! The registry edit using the EOS Utility key worked wonders.

Finally I can download my photos!

This registry edit has worked for me on two machines. 1 in XP and the other in Vista32. And for both ZB and PS. Mucho grassy ass!

You my friend are a king!
thank you a million times over

Thank you for your kindness. The solution did work well .

Thank you so much..i spent ages looking for this.

Found this over Torrent
Just create .reg File with this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\DPP]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\EOS Capture]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\EOS Utility]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\EOSViewerUtility]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\PhotoStitch]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\ZoomBrowser Ex]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\ZoomBrowser Ex\Task Categories]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\ZoomBrowser Ex\Task Categories\Camera]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\ZoomBrowser Ex\Task]

You’re a genius. Two thumbs up for an awesome tip !!!
(worked a charm)

Kool! Works like a charm. Thanks!

It works!
I thought i would have to tear my storage for a little cd.

Thanks guys.

Thanks. I got lucky. This was the first site I opened looking for a way to get the software loaded.

Since the newest version you should add new key to get it work!

Here is a new reg file:

=========== ZoomBrowser EX Updater 6.2.1c.reg ===========

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\ZoomBrowser EX\Install]

=============================================

Worked like a charm!

Daniel

Brill! Option 1 worked for me in Vista for both Zoombrowser and photostitch. Seems so simple when you know how! Much obliged.

Great post! Lost my Photostitch app when upgrading PC and cannot find the original CD …. Two minutes after reading this and I’m up and running! Thanks!

Thanks man….it’s really work….great and usefull tip…!!!

The registry technique no longer works as of today… Worked a month or two ago.

The extraction technique doesn’t work too well. files come out odd.

you absolute legend! I needed this, best solution!

Solution One works perfectly, so simple, so easy, AMAZING.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.

YOU ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST.

Thanks man! Excellent!
It worked for EOS Utility, didn’t work for ZoomBrowser in my case (the Registry trick). I’ll keep trying though

Fantastic – you’re a genius! Why can’t Canon make all this simpler!

RegEdit hack no longer working for XP with ZoomBrowser 6.31 Updater

Works every time, thanks

And for those having trouble with ZB, check the comments above!

@Driver posted the fix:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\ZoomBrowser EX\Install]
needs to be present

It works for 6.3.1

Vista fix (by Anon on Dec 10, 2007 – 12:12:50) works beautifully on Windows 7 as well.

thanks a lot! thought it wouldn’t work or that i would get a virus but I was wrong. It worked like a charm. I can upload my picts. now!

@Will, putting the tag in the “Install” key under ZoomBrowser EX did the trick, thank you!

It won’t work for me…tried it 5 times?? What am I doing wrong?

@Alicia, what did you try ? what version are you using? are you on windows ?

If anyone is still looking, I found this site: http://www.foto-freeware.de/zoombrowser.php

It’s in German but you can still download and install in English if you wish. It is the 2.2 version. Once d/l and installed though you can go to the canon website, d/l the updater and install that. Works perfectly.

Any ideas how to install on Macbook Pro

@SlowAndEasy, thanks a lot!

Finally it works in my Windows 7 64 bit! Amazing!

Hi All
Triyng to install ZoomBrowser update 6.3.1 – the solution is not working. I created new key HKLM\Software\Canon_Inc_IC\Install, and update runs successfully.

@SlowAndEasy, thanks for the info. Couldn’t figure out why the trick that worked last time didn’t work this time!

thanx for trick.

doesn’t work for DPP 3.7 – only 3.6.x is downloaded

@Atul,

All you need to do on OSX:

1. mount the .dmg and drag the updater within it to your desktop.
2. right-click on the updater and “Show Package Contents”
3. navigate to Contents>Resources and delete the “update.plist” file.
4. now, double click the Updater you dragged to the desktop in step 2 and it will install.

YEAHH!!!! The 1st solution (registry hack) was the answer!!!! If YOU are needing this, don’t forget the ‘Install’ key for 6.3.1 (see Driver’s post on March 6, 2009) . Update ver. 6.4.1 is out now… I didn’t have the guts/time to see if IT works w/ the hack. Thanks so much!!!

@costinel,
Just download DPP3.7.2 and install it on XP SP3 using the registry edit, it works without problem.
Thanks for the trick

Man, You rock!

Awesome, the registry entry works for 6.4.1 on windows XP

Thank you soo much

@XLM,

It worked perfectly for my macbook. You are a life saver

The registry trick works at Windows 7, many thanks!

Registry trick works with Windows7 also. Many thanks!

@XLM,

worked like a charm! THANKS!!!!

The only thing that won’t load is the Original Data Security Tools.
Does anyone knwthe regentry to get that installed?

And what the heck is it anyways??

Perfect!
Adding the keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\ZoomBrowser EX]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\ZoomBrowser EX\Install]
made the ZoomBrowser EX 6.4.1 install on my Windows XP SP3.

Hey,

It did not worked on zoom browser 6.5.1

any news?

thnx

I am running windows 7 and simply couldn’t get it to work… Anyone else with similar problems?

@ratprincess, OH… It was 6.5.1 I was trying to install…

@Driver, Thank you sir! Just fixed my situation!

After a little playing around…. on Windows 7 64-Bit the keys required to run all my updaters were:

Zoom Browser 6.5.1 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Canon\ZoomBrowser EX\Install

Digital Photo Pro 3.8
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Canon\DPP

EOS Utility 2.8.1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Canon\EOS Utility

Picture Style Editor
no key needed, but here it is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Canon\Picture Style Editor
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Canon\PictureStyleEditor

Cheers

Thnx a million. Works perfecctly (Regedit). Both Utilies and Zoombrowser. Lastest versions. You’re a star!!

Just awesome! Muggs – thanks so much – worked like a charm for 6.5.1 … thanks everyone!!

Windows 7 32 bit

Download from this link http://www.foto-freeware.de/zoombrowser.php

Run and install

Get the update from canon “zb651vistaupd-en”

Run and install all works.

If you now need DDP.

Download form canon dpp.381en.

Regedit to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARECanon

add a new key “DPP”

Run dpp.381en.

And all works
Thanks

thanks a LOT. You are a genius! I lost the CD and I've replaced my hard disk. Did what you said and I'm back installed. Great!!!!

Thanks a lot.

people are always visit in this site!

I don't know what to say, this is awesome!!!!! Thanks!!

That was great!! Tks!!

Hey, super Howto! It ist great!

The Mac trick works but does not apply to version 3.8.2 (There is no update.plist file)
I installed 3.2.0 first by using the trick. And update to 3.8.2. Hope it will help

Great!! it worked!
Francesco

Thanks a lot!

I was able to download Canon software from the Canon site – worked for me on Mac OSX

This is great! Thanks alot~ I installed EOS utility + DPP using

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanon_Inc_ICEOS Utility]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanon_Inc_ICDPP]

Took me sometime to realise I needed to add the keys to the Canon folder in Wow6432Node. Using Vista!

THANKS FROM INDONESIA

This registry edit has worked for me on two machines.

Thanks Muggs. the following worked for me.

Zoom Browser 6.5.1 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonZoomBrowser EXInstall

I can't believe it was that simple to do.

thank you so much it worked on vista

Always a bit dubious about these “free” downloads, but the introductory text made sense and there wasn't an awful lot to do in the Registry Editor (I'd seen but never touched this area before) and the photostitch software downloaded fine – I'd already picked up the official update from the Canon Europe site.
Many thanks!!

Fi
:@)

Thx from Russia!

An update to this – there is now a package within the package called SDI.Bundle and update.plist has been moved to here.

Thanks so much, it really save me all the hassles to get help from other Canon DSLRs' owners.

Thanks a lot!! It works^^v

Thank you, for the info, it worked

Great post, I love when someone finds a work around for silly issues like lost disks.

I did however find the software cd as an ISO download here:
http://thepiratebay.org/search…

Cheers and thanks again.

I have no idea where my CD is and now have a macbook. Have been searching for ages for a way around things – thanks SO MUCH! Note for other slightly clueless people – to find the file in SDI.bundle, 'right' click and select 'show bundle contents' then delete from there…

For Mac users:
The update.plist has moved.
rm UpdateInstaller.app/Contents/Resources/SDI.bundle/Contents/Resources/update.plist

Why, Mr. Canon … WHY?

Many thanks for rocking post.The way you mentioned to recover key by editing regedit is really superb.I hope your idea will work for sure.Keep that one in record and will apply when needed…

Worked great once I added to 64bit registry section.  Zoom Browser 6.7.2

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonZoom Browser]

 Thank you!!!

I downloaded the CD iso from� http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6555001

Step 3. How to delete file “update.plist”?
The message: “Cannot delete. Read only”

How the hell you supposed to extract with winrar a .exe file? What are you smokin?

nope..you’re an idiot, too.

Mac OS X cannot delete it. Says “Read-only file system”.

I ran into this error as well.  You’re getting this error because you are editing UpdateInstaller directly on the mounted image.  Drag UpdateInstaller to your Desktop then right click and select ‘Show Package Contents’.  When you navigate to update.plist you will now be able to delete it.

Check out my other comment.

Awesome, worked a treat, thanks

winrar can create a self extracting exe …. the new versions however are not winrar compatible …. this post is 4 years old. The registry edits work perfectly though

The regedit tric worked for me, many thanks!!!

For Windows 7 – 64bit you need to paste in the following into Notepad and save as CanonUpdate.reg and then run the reg file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonEOS Utility][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonDPP][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonZoomBrowser EX][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonZoomBrowser EXSettings][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonZoomBrowser EXInstall][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonPhotoStitch[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonEOS Capture][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonEOSViewerUtility][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonODSK]

After sucessfully installing the reg file, run the updater file and it will install.  Took me ages to find this – as I was missing some of the reg entries, coz I’m running Windows 7 64 bit.
