EdsInitializeSDK() ERROR!


SimonBaggs

Question

Hi

I have just downloaded the trial version of Backyard EOS for my canon 40d. When I try and connect the camera to the computer, I get the following error log:

20:52:22  Attempting to connect camera...
20:52:23  Canon drivers 'Canon\' initialized.
20:52:25  40D CONNECTED!
20:52:25  EdsInitializeSDK() ERROR!

Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this?

Thanks

Simon

I too got the EdsInitializeSDK() ERROR!

The installation put two shortcuts on my desktop (ver 3.1.17).  The one for Start Camera 1 had the error but the one for Start Camera 2 worked fine 

I uninstalled and then re-installed in a different folder and all works fine now.  Thanks for the tip.

I too get this error. I had used BackyardEOS previously on an older laptop running Windows 7 without issue. However, that's now gone and I have a newer Dell Latitude 5490 running Windows 10 (patched and up to date). Just downloaded 3.1.17 and installed with license.

My camera is a EOS-760D

Log:-

23:30:46  Attempting to connect camera...
23:30:46  Canon drivers 'Canon\' initialized.
23:30:48  760D-T6s CONNECTED!
23:30:48  EdsInitializeSDK() ERROR!

Extra info:-

Premium Edition 3.1.17

Built on 2019-02-22

EDIT

Should have read Zimmer's post. Re-installing in a new directory fixed the problem

EdsInitializeSDK() ERROR! is a CANON DRIVER error.  Re-installing will almost always fix this.
