Canon EOS Webcam Utiltiy Pro will not install on Windows 11 Pro

[jcjessup]

I've got Windows 11 Pro on my home system and tried to install the Canon EOS Webcam Utility Pro software (from HERE ). The installation wa unsuccessful because my version of C++ was newer than the Canon software recognized. I don't want to have to uninstall/downgrade my software to allow for the installation (and if I did, I'd suspect the next Windows Update might re-update that and make it quit working again).

So is there a workaround for this, or is there a new version of the Canon Webcam Utility anticipated soon?

I need the ability to use the camera with the computer, but either need a workaround or an update to make it compatible.
Anyone else run into this and know how to make it work?

Greetings,

This is unexpected since later versions of C++ should be backwards compatible.  

Visit Programs and Features.  Note the version of C++ you have installed.  Now uninstall your existing version.  Then restart.  

Now run this.

Download Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 from Official Microsoft Download Center https://share.google/8tgdgriCt4geHpzmz

Restart again and run the Webcam Utility Pro Installer.  . Please post your results.

I agree with Rick.  It should be backwards compatible.  Something could be out of order with the installation.

Their proposed solution did not work for me.  I wasn't able to get the webcam utility installed using their special C++ installers.  They say a fix is in the works...
