Removing Older Pylon Software

If you have version 0.9 or below of the Basler filter driver installed on your system, it is critical that
you remove the older version of the filter driver. If you attempt to install a newer version of the
filter driver with version 0.9 or below in place, the installation will fail without any type of service
message. And if you install the performance driver on a system that has version 0.9 or below of the
filter driver in place, the performance driver will not work correctly.
It is not necessary to remove older SDK installations. The SDK installer will automatically remove
older versions of the SDK.
To remove version 0.9 or below of the filter driver:
1. Open a Network Connections window, and find the connection for a network adapter used with
your cameras. Right click on the name of the connection and select Properties from the drop
down menu as shown below.
2. A LAN Connection Properties window will open.
a. Click on the Pylon GigE Vision Streaming Filter item so that it becomes highlighted as
shown below.
b. Click the Uninstall button.
3. When a window appears informing you that the component will be removed from all
connections and asking you if you are sure, click the Yes button.
The filter driver is removed from all network adapters, regardless of whether they are used with
cameras or not.
