The EOSInfo installer (SetupEOSInfo) is back online.  I repackaged it with another utility that makes it somewhat larger, but doesn't trigger any antivirus alarms.  Thank you for your patience.

The EOSInfo installer is currently unavailable. Apparently Kaspersky anti-virus is reporting the presence of a trojan (Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.cley) in it. I've run it against several online services which check uploaded files against multiple anti-virus packages, and Kaspersky and two others are the only packages (out of 40+) that report an issue. Hopefully the report is a false positive, but in the meantime, I am taking the installer offline (SHUT HER DOWN, CLANCY, SHE'S PUMPIN' MUD!). Check back periodically, or sign up for the RSS feed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I've had a couple of folks report that the software throws an exception when used with the 500D.  One enterprising user (thanks, Poe!) tried switching some .DLLs around, and ends up getting the informational message that the count isn't a supported property.  It appears that Canon has shut down the counter for that model.  Sigh.  More news if I learn anything different.

Another bug - the serial number on the 50D (and on one users' screenshot I saw posted online) is wrong, wrong, wrong.  It's fine on my 40D, however.  If you notice that yours is wrong or right, and are so inclined, drop me a note.  david at astrojargon dot net 

You can't use EOSInfo and Canon's EOSUtility at the same time, so how do I know the count updates in realtime (except for the 5D, that is)?  You can still shoot with the shutter release cable (TC-8N03, or whatever), and I *believe* that you can even press the shutter button.

Also, I've had some great ideas for enhancements  sent in - let me know if you've thought of anything.
