What to do if you lost your Canon Software CD

I don’t know if it ever happened to you, but if you lose/damage the Canon Software CD that ships with your Canon EOS DSLR getting your hands on a new one won’t be that easy unless you know someone that owns a Canon DSLR.
“Easy” you’d say “I will only download all the software from the net”, well wrong since those softwares are not available on the internet but only their updates.
Of course you can always give Canon a call and you will probably be charged for the new CD or use one of these two simple tricks.

N.B. These methods have only been tested with ZoomBrowser but I see no reason why they shouldn’t work all other Canon applications, assuming you are using Microsoft Windows.

First of all you will have to download the update of the program you want to install from Canon website.

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 Exfor the key to be created for other programs please check the end of this post
5) Run the ZoomBrowser updater you had previously downloaded, it should now pass the check status and install correctly

Solution Two:
1) Using a software like winrar extract the executable file you had previously downloaded to folder X
2) Navigate to X\INSTALL\COMMON\
3) Run the Install.exe you find in that folder
and the program should get installed with no problems

List of registry keys of different Canon Softwares to be used with solution one
Zoom Browser: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\ZoomBrowser Ex

Digital Photo Professional: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\DPP
EOS Capture: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\EOS Capture
EOS File Viewer: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\EOSViewerUtility
PhotoStitch: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\PhotoStitch

    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!!

    thanks

  • chris

    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)

    10/10 – great fix!!!

  • Anon

    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!

  • toxin

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

  • Andrew

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

  • Frank

    This hack ROCKS!!!

  • h lavender

    This is awesome! Thanks much.

  • http://www.phototramp.com Maciej Tomczak

    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?

  • http://www.mwi.com Utah SEO

    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.

  • jr

    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

  • fredo

    Works great!, thanks!

  • Geert

    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

    All you need to do on OSX:

    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!!!

  • anthony goto

    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.

  • Amy D

    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.
