BPM have recently added new features in BPWin, starting from 5.40, to support the new 3800MK2 that uses both upward and downward vision.
When installing new versions of software, it appears that as default, BPWin enables a new hardware function check that does not exist on other handlers.
The Problem
Are you seeing the following error message?
vision-component-fail
The Solution
To rectify the problem, close BPWin, then open the registry editor and navigate to:
32BIT: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>BPM Microsystems>BPWin>AutoHandler>Components
64BIT: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Wow6432Node>BPM Microsystems>BPWin>AutoHandler>Components
In the right window, you will see UseUpwardDownwardVisionComponentsCheck the DWORD.
The following screenshot shows the DEFAULT value after I installed 5.44.1.
UseUpwardDownwardVision
If it is set to 1, change it to 0 then close the registry editor and start BPWin which will now initialize correctly.
This key is used to enable/disable the upward camera, so if it is set to 1 BPWin is expecting to communicate with it. This should be set to 0 for all 4x/3x types unless it has an upward camera.
