+TODO:
-This was only tested on the Canon 1300D/Rebel T6 but should apply for other cameras too.
+  * Upload images to Wiki rather than links (don't have permission)
-Read the entire guide before performing any steps.
+  * Add as many sections as possible to "Troubleshooting"
-You are responsible for any damage done to your camera.
+  * DO NOT INSTALL ZADIG! mlinstall recently has been updated to work NATIVELY on windows without any driver installation!

+====== Install ======
-On first run on Windows, it should not work.
+  - Connect the camera to a Windows 7/10 or Linux computer with a USB cable.
-Here’s what to do:
+  - Download mlinstall (https://github.com/petabyt/mlinstall).
-Download and run Zadig.
+  - On Windows, extract the files and run the EXE. On Linux, you'll need to set the ".AppImage" file as executable. Here's a quick tutorial: [[https://discourse.appimage.org/t/how-to-run-an-appimage/80]]
-(GIF) Replace WinUSB with libusb.
-In order to revert this change, simply repeat the steps and choose “WinUSB” instead of “libusb-win32”. Some Windows software may fail to work if this change is not reverted.
-: Once you have verified that USB communication is working, click “Enable Boot Disk”. In order to revert the camera to factory settings, click “Disable Boot Disk”.
-: Unplug the SD card from the camera.
-: Insert the SD card into your computer. You might need an adapter.
-: Ensure that your SD card is named “EOS_DIGITAL”. mlinstall searches for any storage device named “EOS_DIGITAL” and writes to the first one it finds.
-: In mlinstall, navigate to the “Card” tab and click “Write card boot flags”. This will write data to the SD card. It’s a good idea to format the card in the camera first.
-In Linux, eject the card before removing it.
-Note: mlinstall currently doesn’t support exfat, so you might want to use EOSCard.
-EOSCard (Windows only)
-Ensure that your card is selected and click the “ML” Magic Lantern button.

-Troubleshooting, 1300D/Rebel T6
 critix: “Try to do a firmware update to version 1.1.0. (even if you have exactly this version on your device). Then you can try to test ML. This problem seems to exist on many devices. I suffered the same with my device. After an "update" to version 1.1.0, I was able to work on ML.”
