How to Use The Redistributables pylon Runtime Installation Options#
If you want to customize the installation, the Basler product documentation has some useful instructions.
For features with sub categories (marked in bold in the list above), the main category can't be used as a feature. For example, if you want to uninstall the USB_Support, you must list each sub feature instead.
Here are some example command line inputs.
Install the pylon Runtime with all features except the GigE drivers, DirectShow, and Twain:
pylon_Runtime_<version_number>.exe /exclude=DirectShow;Twain;GigE_Runtime_GigE_Performance_Driver;GigE_Filter_Driver
Uninstall Camera Emulator, USB Runtime and USB GenTL producer from an existing pylon Runtime installation without any display information:
