Write "Pentax Digital Utility 4" on a CD and install it on your computer. Then, you should be able to download the upgrade.

If I put 4 on - I presume it will deal with *istD and K20D PEF files then all will be fine.
Does the CD need a "Name"?

The major step forward with version 4 was the GUI. It was awful on version 3.x.

The name is "Pentax Digital Utility 4". As long as the upgrade recognises the name, it will download to your computer without problems.

I just realised what you originally meant! and am currently writing the disk. I did try it from a USB drive but could not get a long name.

You don't need to write a disk!
Just create an ISO and give it that name and mount it in a virtual drive

Tried all ways ... and it still fails to install.You don't need to write a disk!

Has anyone successfully achieved it without an old version installed?

Major problem ...
I cannot get the full volume name ... Everything seems to limit it to just 16 characters!

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Get this program link and follow these instructions link and you've an ISO.
Virtual drive is also easy to get there are several programs, I use Daemon tools.

It seems real easy the way you put it. Unfortunately, we're not all engineers.

Slow ... or what ... downloading at just a few hundred kilobits per second - 15 minutes to get the .exe
Just wondering too, will I gain any benefits from using Pentax Digital Camera Utility 4.11 instead of the older 3.61 ?
edit:
Grrrrrrrrr ...
It wants the original CD to confirm the previous version! Why? It is not as if the software is of use to anyone without a Pentax!
I now need to go and find it ...
