Can I download EOS Utility for my EOS 50D?

I purchased a new laptop. Can I download the EOS Utilities software? I have the CD’s and had them loaded on my old box (which has died) for my desktop but I guess newer laptops don’t run them anymore. TIA for any help.

Thanks for joining the conversation, Lyn1! If your computer doesn't have a CD drive, you can download the latest version of everything that was on your CD for free right HERE. Just click the "Software & Drivers" button when you get there.

Hope this helps!

I have the same problem & went to the link you have given above but I could only found Digital Photo Professional, Picture Style Editor & Neural network Upscaling Tool for Windows 11. I found EOS Utility 2.14.20a Updater for Windows under Windows 10. When I try to open it I got the following

Could you help?

Hello, clearview!

I'm not sure this will work, but it's worth a try: On the support page for your camera, change the version of Windows to 8.1 and you should see "EOS Digital Solution Disk Software 29.1A for Windows". Download that and try installing. It will be a ZIP file, so you will have to unzip/extract it and run the EXE file it contains. If the install is successful, then you need to run the "Updater" that you previously downloaded.

The EOS Utility 2 software on your 50D disks WILL install just fine, even in Windows 11. I do it all the time.

After doing it, download the 2.14.20a updater and install it. This is not a freestanding EU installer. EU 2 has to exist on the computer first.

Hi clearview5517,

You could try using the method FloridaDrafter listed in their response. One thing to note is that we stopped updating EOS Utility 2 awhile ago, and it might not run or install correctly on current operating systems. EOS Utility 2 is the only version of that software that can recognize your camera, and at this time there aren't any plans to update EOS Utility 2 for newer operating systems.

For cameras that used EOS Utility 2 we recommend using a USB card reader to import files from your memory card. To do that you would take the memory card out of the camera, load it into the USB card reader, and then use File Explorer to drag and drop the photos and videos into folders on your computer. At this time there are no plans to update EOS Utility 2 for newer Windows operating systems.

Hello, Hazel!

EOSU 2 works on my Win 11 laptop and connects to my cameras that require it. However, with my older cameras, like the XSi, some features will not work properly. I can still use it to focus and remote shoot, though 🙂

I too cannot locate my original utilities CD (I do have the one with the software manuals though). I tried the suggestions in this thread and could not find anything but utility updater files under any version of windows OS. Of course the updates don't work without originals installed, I get the same error box as posted by another here. I hope there's a viable solution as I really need the ability to run the camera from my PC for 35mm slide digitization.

Thanks is advance.
