Canon EOS Utility 2.14

[ausastronomer]

Hi All,

I have a Canon 70D and it came with some software disks, which included the EOS Utility Version 2.14.

I now have a new computer and would like to install the original Canon Software on to the new computer. I have misplaced my original disks as a result of 2 house moves. Unfortunately I can't find anywhere on the Canon Australia, Canon US, or Canon UK websites where I can download the full version of this Utility from. I can find downloads for the 2.14.2 updater, but you need the full version installed on your computer before you can run the updater. I can also find full downloads of version 3 which is for the more recent Canon Cameras and I don't think works with the 70D.

Can anyone please direct me to a link where I can download the full Version 2.14 Canon EOS Utility from, or failing that, be happy to post me a DVD of the software, or upload to DropBox or similar?

HHEEEELLLLPPPPPPPPPP !!!!

Cheers

If you can't find or borrow original disk, have a look here:

After sorting out registry, you can simply download software from canon website and install it like upgrade..

This is for the Canon EOS Digital Solutions Disc 29 which lists EOS Utility 2.14.xx

Yep, just sent John a PM with a similar link Dennis and pointed to that file. :thumbsup:

In the meantime I'll have a look if I have a CD.

I really appreciate the help guys. I finally got to the bottom of this fiasco.

The problem is that this older version of the software is not compatible with Windows 10. Whenever I went to the support pages it was auto detecting that I was running windows 10 and then excluding this software from available downloads. I figured this out when I followed RB's link and he directed me to the top line and described it. I wasn't seeing that and I decided to change the windows version in the checkbox to "7" and the link then became visible.

A pretty ordinary effort on Canons part considering the number of very good cameras still out there that need this older software version, which is "supposedly" not 100% compatible with Windows 10, which is now the predominant operating system worldwide.

Thanks for the offer Chris. I was able to get it all resolved with the links the guys provided. I do have my disks "somewhere". But I remember when we were unpacking at this new house I saw them and thought "I won't need these because I can download the updated versions anyway" and I then remember storing them somewhere that wasn't readily accessible. I could have even put them into a box and put them up in the loft space above the ceiling. Unfortunately I have a lot of boxes up there and to get them down and go through all of them looking for a disk, is a major mission and they may not even be there. I am in the process of building an external garage / workshop and when I get that completed all the boxes will come back down, 1/2 the stuff will go to the tip and 1/2 will go into the garage, making what I want to keep a lot more accessible.
