I've installed everything for the transfer process verbatim from the manual. In fact, I've already reinstalled twice thinking that may be the problem. I've followed the directions very closely to try to rule out a conscious error on my end, but keep getting the same (lack of) result. At this point, I'm at a complete loss.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Look in the event viewer for any errors of services that cannot start. I had the same symptoms, the problems ended up being a missing CALMAIN.exe. I solved the issue by copying the file from another computer.

I had the same problem!
When I tried to start Canon Camera Access Library 8 it said the file was missing. The event viewer said that "The system cannot find the file specified."
On the installation CD that came with my camera I found CALMAIN.EXE here - D:\SOFTWARE\CAL\COMMON\COMMON.CAB I then exracted the file and saved it to C:\Program Files\Canon\CAL
CameraWindow now works!
