Canon T3 Software Download

Thanks Ian, my bad... the image on my screen was very small so I didn't look properly at which download you recommended and just grabbed the first obvious one in the list, I'll get it done right this time!

OK, so I followed the instructions through (thanks jtstanco for the link, thanks Ian for the detailed instructions) so far I have installed DPP 4 and then went to the link to check for updates have downloaded and unzipped Dppw 3.15.0 updater - however when I go to install the updater files a dialogue box appears which is asking for the software CD and the only options are Start CD Search or Cancel Install - so I have the DPP4 which puts me in a better spot than I was for sure - but anyone got any tips on bypassing that dialogue box to install the latest updates?

Thanks.

That is why I indicated you downloaded the "EOS Digital Solution Disk Software 29.1A for Windows (For users who cannot use the bundled CD)" package, which is the complete CD content and will allow you to install all the camera support packages. This link downloads a zip file called something like ksd291a_installer.zip which when unpacked creates the file ksd291a_installer.exe, running this will allow you to select which of the camera support packages to install (including DPP 3.x.x).

N.B. If you are running Windows 10 you will not see this package in the list until you change the OS version selection drop down box to Windows 8.1.

Canon's updater packages search for an existing version of the package and if it is not installed prompt for the installation CD, as you discovered.

You can find the downloads on the Canon support page for the EOS Rebel T3. Here is the link for the Canon USA site

https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/details/cameras/dslr/eos-rebel-t3-ef-s-18-55-is-ii-kit

Under "Drivers and Downloads" click on the "Software" tab. You will find links for both DPP 4.4.30 and DPP 3.15.0.

The DPP 3.15.0 package on that page is an updater and requires DPP 3 to already be installed. For what the OP wants he should do the following:-

1) Select the Software Tab

2) If you're using Windows 10 select an earlier version e.g. Windows 8.1

3) You will now see an option labelled "EOS Digital Solution Disk Software 29.1A for Windows (For users who cannot use the bundled CD)" Click on the select button.

4) Click on the "I have agreed etc." box then click on the Download button.

5) You will be asked to provide your camera serial number which is located on the bottom of your camera.

6) You should now be able to download the software. This is effectively a copy of the install CD.

7) Unzip the file and run the setup.exe. You should now be able to install the components you require. N.B. you may need to update them to the latest versions from the above web page.

Hope this helps

Ian
