The installation fails due to a Windows service startup issue.
I've been attempting to use my Sony A5100 (ILCE-5100) as a webcam because it performs better than my inexpensive 10-dollar model. To access the camera, I need to download and install the Imaging Edge Webcam app. After trying to install it, nothing appears. Reinstalling didn’t help, and I encountered a message asking me to uninstall first before reinstalling. On my C: drive, there’s a Sony folder containing the app, but launching it still triggers the same warning. I’m confused—no idea how to resolve this. I’ve tried using a lightweight software to reduce CPU load, but that didn’t work here. It seems unrelated to my Windows setup. This is the first time I’ve seen such an issue.
It seems the installation didn’t work as expected. There aren’t any online solutions or tips available for this issue.
It's just a driver with no launch or interface. It functions as a basic tool.
After installing the app, you should see an installation window as described in the instructions. If it isn’t visible, check your settings or try restarting the app.
Imaging Edge Desktop is a photo organization tool. The "Imaging Edge Webcam" driver varies despite similar naming.
