Same problem. I can't for the life of me get it to work with my Dell laptop Windows 7. Shame, I really wanted to use it with Windows Kinect. I've installed and reinstalled the drives so many times I have A HEADACHE. I've never had problems installing software and drivers until Iclone came along.

And before you tell me to do this or that I already have. I followed all the suggestions in this thread and still a fail error. :(

I think the best way to avoid any confusion in the future with these drivers is to refer to the kinects as business edition vs xbox edition. even when you say windows kinect, since we can plug any kinect to a computer with usb - to a consumer, it's a windows version. Developers are cutting edge on their info, the business version kinect isn't common knowledge yet.

Have the Kinect Xbox Sensor, Ok no probs I'll just re-install the Beta SDK. ;)

An easy way to tell the differences in the Kinect models is the xBox one says "xBox" on the right side of the faceplate, and the Windows version says "Kinect"

Yes that's it. :)

ahh, okie, that makes sense now, I got the xbox kinect ...which it did come with a regular USB plug ( so I didn't need the hard drive transfer adapter, which made me think it was a newer kinect ) - I saw the one you are speaking of which is the one Microsoft coined a business edition but thought that wasn't released yet.

So I am doing fine with the beta plug in, and the 1.1 version sdk is for the business eidition kinect.

Thank You.

Cheers,

Ricky

Hi PSD

Previously there was only one Kinect Sensor available and this was designed for the XBox. In the last few weeks Microsoft have introduced a new version of the device called Kinect For Windows. This version is for PC's and not for the XBox.

Which version did you buy? if you bought the new Kinect For Windows it will be be clearly stated on the box. You can find out all about the new Kinect For Windows HERE.

@peter, how do you tell the difference between older and newer ? I just got mine a few days ago, so I am 'assuming' it's a new version, but I'm using the beta, and the 1.1 version I have isn't working. Still confused if I have the 'best' set up installed. Should I uninstall the plug in and drivers and just install the 1.1 or leave the beta I have now running since it is functioning.

There tends to be a lot of flutter in the motions and it seems to have low accuracy - I'm wondering if this is simply the stage we are at with the kinect or if the non beta driver is more accurate. There are 2 drivers on my bonus page, 1 is beta , the other is 1.1, then there are instructions on another page to download the file from the microsoft site itself.

I have 1 beta plug in installed, which is working, the 1.1 installed which isn't working , then i have a microsoft section in my directory which is working ....and the documentation that i found is vague.

as I said, my setup is working now, and I'd hate to uninstall what is working in exchange for bugs and potential issues. If this is simply something that by nature is not very accurate, i can live with that, if the new non beta drivers are better, then I'd want that.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Nigel do you have Kinect For Windows or the older Kinect Sensor that works with the XBox. The new Microsoft Kinect SDK in your account is for the newly released Kinect For Windows only. Those with older Kinects For XBox should continue to use the old Beta SDK.

I'm having the same problem, the new Kinect plug-in for Windows, fresh from my account, does not work but the beta version did.
