Vista - Canoscan LiDE 35 Vista 64 driver

I saw a closed post for these drivers in these forums on Google, as i have once again been trying to install mine.

I have just got it to work using the Canoscan LiDE 60 driver and toolbox software.

Just thought I'd mention that

Hello scoutfu,

I have a Canoscan Lide 35. I downloaded the lide60vst6411111a_64en.exe compressed file. The thing is that I am not able to install it. I unzipped the .exe file. It created alide60vst6411111a_64en folder with a SetupSG.exe file. I ran the SetupSG.exe file and after a while noticed that it created a canoscan with a couple of folders... Nevertheless, the driver is not installed.

Can you explain how you proceed on your side to do this installation?

Regards!

Arnaud

Use Winrar, right click the file and select Extract to lide60vst6411111a_64en\

Open the folder it creates (ide60vst6411111a_64en)

Inside the folder you'll find SetupSG.exe, extract it the same way again and you will find the driver

Go to your Device Manager (right click Computer - select Manage)

Plug in the scanner so you can see it pop up in the Device Manager

Right click it, Update / Install driver

Select Browse my computer for driver then Let me pick from a list of drivers, just select 'All' then click OK

Select Have Disk then Browse and select the CNQL60.INF file inside the SetupSG folder.

It will say that it isnt the correct driver and may not work..... but its lying

Continue and you're done

It works! Thanks!

No problem

I have the same problem. But when I click on "setupSG.exe" I see a bar load, and then nothing...

No setup files, no ini files, and the scanner is not installed!

Please help me, as this is very frustrating.

I was able to unzip the original lide60vst6411111a_64en file...and I saw the setup and read me files. The setup file just loads, and then NOTHING happens...

What do I do now?

My OS is Vista Ultimate 64. I have a canoscan Lide 35 attached...

Many thanks for the help.

Look at my second post - Don't run the archives, extract them

But how? The archives themselves are not extractable per se...

There is no option to extract it, unless i simply put it in a zip folder...but then I am simply extracting the original archive file...

when i right click on the file, i dont have the option to extract it...

So yeah...please help ... :-)

I have the same issue with the SetupSG.exe archive "running" but no visible drivers extracted (and I have Show Hidden Files turned on). Any suggestions for how to find the Lide 60 driver? WinZip opens and closes automatically, and does not give me an opportunity to see how the archive is being extracted. The CNQL60.INF file is nowhere to be found on my machine. Thanks!

You need to extract the file, not run it.

Use Winrar, right click the file and select Extract to lide60vst6411111a_64en\

Open the folder it creates (ide60vst6411111a_64en)

Inside the will be an SetupSG.exe, extract it the same way again and you will find the driver


Sorry, i did not make this clear in my instructions so have edited them to stop any future confusion. Hope it helps
