Before You Install
Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the information in this section before
installing OMI 2.3.1.
• Verify that the system on which you will install OMI software meets all hardware and
software requirements described in the section Host System Information on
page 26.
• When installing OMI under Windows NT or Windows 2000, you must have
Administrator privileges for the system on which you are installing the software.
• Set the Plug and Play option in the BIOS as follows, depending on your operating
system:
Windows 98: Yes
Windows 2000 or Windows NT: No
• Fully uninstall any earlier version of CVL or OMI before installing the current version.
You can uninstall both CVL and OMI using the Add/Remove Programs control
panel. Depending on the release level of software installed, the name of the
application to remove appears as Vision, Cognex Vision, or Cognex CVL in the
list of programs. See also Uninstalling OMI Software on page 33.
Note The uninstall program for some previous versions of OMI may not
remove the MVS-8100 drivers. If the drivers are not removed before
you install the new software, you may be unable to run OMI
applications. Depending on your operating system, see Uninstalling
Windows 2000 Drivers on page 33, Uninstalling Windows NT Drivers
on page 34, or Uninstalling Windows 98 Drivers on page 34 for
