Cmview.exe briefly opens the manual then immediately stops working, with error message to that effect. Neither Canon nor MS have been able to help.
Most likely the manual is in PDF format, go to the directory of the program concerned and look for the PDF manual, then simply double click on it and if you have Adobe Reader, it will open, if you do NOT download it and install. I suspect that with that cmview, all it does is invoke Adobe anyway.

Guide to installing Canon CanoScan LiDE 35, 50 and 60 on Mac OS X 10.8. Mountain Lion:
FIRST PART: DELETING OLD LiDE DRIVERS AND SOFTWARE
HD:/Library/Image Capture/Twain Data Sources
delete the CanoScan CanoScan XXXX.ds file
(Make note of any other files that may be in this folder. If other files are present, move them to the desktop for now. Then place them back after successfully using the scanner.)
HD:/Library/Preferences
delete the 'CanoScan XXXX' folder
HD:/Users/Shared
delete the folders containing the name CanoScan, or starting with CNQL.
HD:/Applications
delete the CanoScan Toolbox Application
HD:/Users/YOUR-MAC-USERNAME/Library/Preferences
delete any items named "CanoScan Toolbox"
SECOND PART: MAKING YOUR SCANNER WORK
CanoScan LiDE 50 and LiDE 35 work both with the 35 driver:
lide35osx7721en.dmg
CanoScan LiDE 60 driver:
lide60osx11131en.dmg
VueScan Software:
http://www.hamrick.com/#download
VueScan 9.2 (or later) x32 for Mac OS X
Alternative to VueScan: CanoScan Toolbox. I prefer VueScan.
Try your luck with Version 4 or Version 5.
CanoScan Toolbox 4: cstbosx4934ej4.dmg
CanoScan Toolbox 5: cstbosx5014ej4.dmg
(Alternatively try and install CanoScan Toolbox 4 or 5)

Thanks, Silver Dragon, but it's not really satisfactory. I downloaded the PDF manual from Canon website and you can indeed open it with Acrobat, but you can't navigate it, and it's 268 pages! What I need is the HTML interactive version. Mulier
The files in the folder Easy Guide Viewer are:
cmvdrv.exe Application 54KB
cmview.exe Application 1574KB
cmvuirc.dll Application Extension 23KB
The second one has the icon that appears on the desktop and which briefly opens the manual before fading.
Sorry if I'm not putting this reply in the right place, and please tell me how I should be replying. I'm new to FixYa.
I've also verified that the manual runs fine on an XP machine, so there's no problem with the installation CD
