canon beta webcam error this package can only be run from bootstrapper.

What the heck does that mean? I googled it and only became more confused... I'm just trying to set up my canon m50 as a webcam

I figured it out! I had to excract the downloaded file and then a new file appeared titled setup and now it is running the wizard!

Greetings,

Yes, the installer is indeed compressed (zipped) .

Glad you figured it out.

I extracted and am still unable to download. I keep getting the bootstrap error message.

I, as well, have extracted the files and am getting a boot strap error. How do I fix this?
