Installing PCU without optical drive

Steve.Ledger · 04-11-2014, 08:01 PM

Ultrabooks don't have an optical drive.

Downloading the 72Mb PCU 4 setup file from RICOH won't work because you need the original CDROM in the drive to do so.
Pretty stupid...?

Rename any removeable drive to S-SW90 or S-SW55 (depening on the version) will do the trick.

Well thanks, that works. But makes it even stupider..!

Hmmm. It's not very good is it? And very slow compared to LR on the same machine.
I'll remove it now that I've [at least] tried it...

It's better than nothing, but most people don't care for it if they have other editing/viewing programs.
