there was a helpful trick i read on dpr
download the update from pentax, then instead of opening to execute, run it from the Start menu and add the /s option

While there is probably a way to download the software or get the broken cd replaced, why not just download Picasa? Its free and easy to use.

If you want, i could make an ISO of my cd (v3 - US) and make it available if you'd like.

But as stated previously, Google's Picasa (Link) is a great software and supports the pentax raw format quite nicely..i have noticed a couple raw pictures weren't converted correctly, but, for the most part, it's great, and it's free..

While this is very helpful.... it's not terribly smart. If Pentax doesn't see fit to make available full downloads... you probably shouldn't either...

Especially not since the OP can order new CDs...

There was a trick I read at the other forum on installing the PENTAX Photo Browser/Laboratory updated software without the installation CD. You basically need to name a blank CD the same as the Installation CD, download the update, insert the named CD and install the download. It worked for most people that tried it.

Eclipse thanks for the zip file. I was having issues getting the photo browser. I went to the Pentax website and the only thing available was version 2 and 3. Both didn't work after download because it keeps asking to insert the CD. Now I'm set and ready to go. Thanks again.
