Depending on the installed HALCON version, ibaVision can be installed as 32-bit or 64-bit version. The 32-bit ibaVision version will be installed with a 32-bit HALCON library and the 64-bit ibaVision version will be installed with a 64-bit HALCON library. During installation you have to select whether to install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of ibaVision.

Starting with HALCON v20.11, 32-bit versions of HALCON for Windows are no longer available.

When multiple HALCON versions are installed on the system, the ibaVision installer will evaluate the %HALCONROOT% environment variable to determine the appropriate version.

Selecting the Python plug-in will only be possible with a 64-bit version of ibaVision.
