Capture NX 1.3.2 OS X Leopard Update Woes?
If you just updated your you Capture NX to 1.3.2 on Leopard, chances are you began seeing “Cannot load Blah.NEF” error message when trying to open ANY NEF file. I did, and found the way to get around the problem. Follow these steps:
- Send a hate email to Nikon for letting loose a retarded update for their dog slow software (optional)
- Uninstall Capture NX using your installation CD
- Install Capture NX from your installation CD (assumes 1.1)
- Update to 1.3.1. If you are asked to run the software after update, choose “No.”
- Update to 1.3.2. Again, DO NOT RUN Capture NX yet.
- Reboot
- Voila! Capture NX fixed. Maybe.
Now, some of you may ask: why not skip 1.3.1? Well, the stupid developers of Capture NX (Nik Software?) will only update software from 1.3.0 onwards. If you have a version lower, the updater won’t even warn you that you need at least 1.3.0; it will just complain that “Capture NX is not installed.” WTF? The Nikon support page will tell you you need at least a 1.3.0 to update, but will not give you a direct link to 1.3.0 or 1.3.1. STUPID. STUPID. STUPID.

I struggled all night trying to update Capture NX to no avail until I googled (doh, should have done it earlier) and you appeared like the preverbal genie!!! Absolutely spot on advice…I am just so grateful. Thank you so much. Can’t agree more with your comments about Nikon…good gear but muppets in charge. Thanks again I am very grateful. You’re in my favourites box now.
All the very best to you.
