The DSLR Camera Remote Server won’t start or gives an error message?

Steps to try:

  1. Windows users, try reinstalling the Microsoft .NET framework 3.5 from Microsoft’s website. DSLR Camera Remote will install this automatically if it is missing, however sometimes it may appear to be installed already and is an old or corrupt installation and DSLR Camera Remote’s installer will not try to reinstall .NET.
  2. Windows users, try reinstalling Bonjour from Apple’s website. This is similar to .NET in that DSLR Camera Remote will try to install this automatically if it is missing but if it thinks its installed but it is broken or corrupt it will not try to reinstall it.
  3. Try reinstalling the DSLR Camera Remote Server. Be sure to un-install it first. Make sure you have administrative privileges on the computer. For Windows Vista you may want to turn of User Access Controls during installation.
  4. Turn off your firewall or add an application exception for DSLR Camera Remote. On Mac OSX 10.4, you will need to turn the firewall off.
  5. On a Mac, if you receive a -5000 error, try repairing your disk permissions. Go to Disk Utility in your Applications > Utilities folder.
  6. Restart your computer.
