How to install Canon EOS Utility 2 full version

EOS Utility 2.14.20a full version install

Go to Canon and select your camera model under software downloads. At the time this guide was written, the link was https://www.canon-europe.com/support/consumer_products/software/eos-utility.html

Select your camera and download "EOS Utility 2.14.20a Updater for Windows" (yes, we will do full install with this file).

Before we can run the installer we need to add a key to our registry.

Open a commandprompt as admin and run this to create the right key for a full install.

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Canon\EOS Utility"

Now you can run "EOS Utility 2.14.20a Updater for Windows" to make a full installation.

Thanks. You are a saver.❤👍

You could be missing admin privileges

You saved the day! Thanks for this little trick. Thank you for counteracting the frustration I was feeling from dealing with Canon's odd decision to not provide a full install.

Wow! Thank Real Live Saver been trying to work out how to get my CD/DVD installed on my new PC as dont have This any more in new PC's

Really very useful, I no longer knew how to find the full version. ^^

Thank you! It was very helpful. :)

Brilliant! Thanks

This is great - thank you!

Definitely works well, thank you!

agree, thanks!

Thanks dude, I downloaded EOS utility previously by using a serial number with only zeroes, but now they only have an updater. You're a lifesaver!

Works great! I'm running Windows 11, and it only showed v3. After selecting Windows 10, I was able to find the v2 download, run the reg command and install EOS Utility v2 for my Canon EOS 70D.

same as mine

thank you bro hope your pillow is always cold as hell every night<3

Great, thank you! Saved me the time to search for the installation CD!

Bought a 2nd hand 1000d.... this "hack" saved me having to send it back. many many thanks.
P.S. It works on win 11.

Hi! I've got a Rebel T4i , Canon support says I need to use EOS2, but it's not supported for W11. I tried your solution, updated the REG, got and ran the EOS2 updater, but the installer died with "Unknown Error" at the Web Service Registration. The EOS Utility only starts up as a tiny popup, but doesn't let me get to my camera controls. (I'm using the USB-mini-5 connector for the T4i). So, no bueno. Any suggestions?
OK, I jiggled the cable, and then suddenly it opened EOS Utility. But then it pooped out saying it doesn't recognize my camera.

I need help, when I paste the command in CMD, it says that the system cannot find the path, I need a clearer step-by-step guide

Sorry man, I've been trying to make this work for two hours but I'm not doing very well, I think I've lost my patience, could you help me please?

To get it to work on my win11 system,
uninstall the EOS app ( if installed) and reboot.
Using regedit I entered the new key BY HAND,
{ if you have never used regedit there are "youtubes" on it.}
If you can edit a text file. you can change the registry. worst case is EOS does not work but you are there anyway.
I then ran the update and , yeah, it worked.

Doing it by hand should overcome any PATH issues.

Sorry for being so abrupt,

Hey thanks! After jiggling the cable, and reinstalling the updater, voila! It suddenly worked. All good! 👍
