I may have finally resolve my issue. I had the problem everyone on this thread was having, after trying almost everything on my Win10X64 laptop, I tried the following.
1. Moved the unzipped installation package out of the downloads folder. I moved it to C:\Drivers\Canon
2. Removed the rediculously long folder name that was default from Canon's unzip program
3. Removed fax and xps printers from Windows (not sure if this helped or not)
4. Ran the install and it worked!
Thank you very much for this. I registered just to thank you. Worked well for me.
Also have to disable anti-virus so that the utility can update the firewall, but might not be an issue with other anti-virus providers.
