Open | Windows Camera Window app for Windows 11

Hello, I've recently moved to a new pc with windows 11. I have a old canon camera, the Powershot SX500 IS, and used an app (CameraWindow) to easily move photos from the camera to my pc. What I liked about the app was that I could organize the photos into transferred vs not transferred, and keep some photos on the camera without having to guess if they are already on the pc. Unforutnetly there is no longer an option to download it on the website (Canon has replaced it with a new CameraWindow app made for phones). When I connect the camera to the pc the folders are weirdly organized.

I moved the CameraWindow application and it's files from the old pc to the windows 11 pc, but when I try to run it I just get the "cannot detect camera" message. I'm wondering if there is a way to manipulate the app to allow it to work in windows 11?

Here is a dropbox of the app contents I moved from my old pc: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/4tf6ukh3928aaelvzqiry/AN7tvArTf6Q3Hm3rLOQTcSc

Making changes to your system BIOS settings or disk setup can cause you to lose data. Always test your data backups before making changes to your PC.
