Running the 32-bit Cognex Drivers Installer

The final dialog screen of the CVL 8.0 install includes a check box labeled Launch Cognex Driver Installer which is checked by default. The recommended procedure is to leave the box checked which will then automatically start the Cognex Drivers installer which installs device drivers.

When you run the Cognex Drivers installer, follow these steps:

The Welcome screen displays. Click Next, click I accept..., and Next again to display the Setup Type screen.
If while starting, Windows detects new hardware (your frame grabber or adapter) it displays the Files Needed dialog. Click Cancel to skip this dialog. Do not use this method to install the drivers.
On the Setup Type screen, select Complete to install the device drivers.
The Installing Cognex Drivers screen displays while the drivers are being installed.
When the installation is complete the InstallShield Wizard Complete screen appears. Click Finish to proceed.

You must reboot your PC if the drivers installer prompts for it.
