Installing a Software Component

The procedure below describes how to install a Basler pylon software component that is not
included in the current installation of Basler pylon software on your PC.
You will have to install a Basler pylon software component in, for example, one of these situations:
You initially only installed the Basler pylon Viewer and now want to use the SDK.
You initially installed the Filter Driver only because no compatible GigE network adapters were
installed in your PC. You have now installed a compatible GigE network adapter in your PC
and want to use the Performance Driver.
Note
The software component to be installed must have the same version number
as the Basler pylon software currently installed on your PC.
If in doubt, obtain the latest version of Basler pylon software and install it. This
will update the Basler pylon software currently installed on your PC and allows
you to include the desired software component.
Note
During installation of a Basler pylon network driver, the current network
adapter-driver associations will be changed for all network drivers installed in
your PC with Basler drivers replacing the current drivers.
If you want to reestablish the original network adapter-driver association for a
compatible GigE adapter, see the "Changing the Driver Association for a
Compatible GigE Network Adapter" section.
If you want to unbind a Basler network driver from a from a non-compatible
GigE adapter or a Fast Ethernet adapter that is not used with a camera, see
the "Unbinding the Basler Filter Driver from a Non-compatible or a Fast
Ethernet Network Adapter" section.
1. Make sure your GigE camera is disconnected from your computer.
