Nikon has announced that it has a series of upgrades for several of it’s imaging software packages. Click on the links below to upgrade your software. The upgrade includes not only compatibility with Snow Leopard (OS 10.6) but also offers support for the D300S
The only package I use from the above is the occasional use of Nikon Capture NX2 so downloaded the updater this morning. However this is where the problems started. After asking me for my admin password the updater then informs me that it cannot find the updater – hmm, very curious.
The only way to make this updater work was to first re-install a full copy of NX2 version 2.2.0 (despite the fact that this was the same version already installed) and then re-run the updater for version 2.2.2. One word of warning – this updater runs incredibly slowly. You need to wait for almost a full minute after entering your admin password before you see anything happen.
Once the installer has been run Capture NX2 runs just fine with no problems encountered so far.
As I do not use the other packages I am unable to comment on the functioning of the updaters and their Snow Leopard compatibility. I would be happy to post any other users experiences on these here.
