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.

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

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.

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

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonZoom Browser]

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

Why, Mr. Canon … WHY?
