Installing EOS Utility with no cd drive.

[TommyLa]

I bought the XPS 15 and I'm trying to install EOS Utility, it's looking for a cd. No cd drive. Suggestion? 1D Mark 4.

Thanks,

Tom

You can download the software from Canon Support.

You will need to know the serial number of your camera to start the downloads.

And while you are at it, download the electronic users manual, too. There is a *lot* more info there than in the one supplied with the camera.

Thanks, I have downloaded the files, but it is looking for a cd. People are talking about "solution disk", just do not see it. Is there a direct link?

Thanks,

Tom

What exactly is " it "?  The instruction manual?  Perhaps, you should contact 1-800-OK-CANON, so they can walk you through it.

Go to the 1D Mark IV support page, select Windows 7 operating system and download EOS Solution Disk 29.1. It has all the files that come on the CD.

Got it, thanks!

You need to download the complete software disk from the Canon website. Since they redesigned the website, I have no idea where the link to that is. You might want to try calling Canon support.

Strange...it did not ask me for a CD at all...and my laptop does not have a CD drive either.  Try this link the select Drivers/SW then software.
