In order to update the firmware on the Canon camera, I needed to have the Canon software “EOS Utility” installed ( Or I could’ve used a CF Card Reader and copied the files to the root of the card, but I didn’t have one on hand at the moment).
Sadly, I long ago developed the habit of throwing away any bloatware that comes with product purchases, so I didn’t have the install disc that comes with the camera. Looking for a download online, I followed a link on Canon’s website to download EOS Utility.

When I downloaded the EOS Utility program from the Canon website and ran the install file ( I’m using Windows 8.1), I was prompted to insert the install CD. This year being 2014, and CDs being one more computing innovation away from being obsolete, I was flabbergasted. I could NOT find a way to install EOS Utility without the install disc. I would’ve thought that Canon wants its consumers to have access to its own proprietary software.
Positive that I wasn’t the first person to be angered at this anachronistic prerequisite in this age of cloud computing, I did a good old Google search. It wasn’t super-easy to find the info, but I came across this super-helpful web page with the following instructions that will hack the Windows Registry to allow the EOS Utility install file downloaded from the Canon website to be installed without a physical copy of the install CD:
Open Notepad and write (or copy/paste into Notepad) the following (exactly):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
Canon Eos Software Mac
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonEOS Utility]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonDPP]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonZoomBrowser EX]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCanonPhotoStitch
