Microsoft Kinect Camera not appearing under Primesense in Device Manager (Win 7, 64-bit)
What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. 2. 3.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect to see the Kinect Motor, Camera and Audio under Primesense in the Device Manager but instead I only see the Audio and Motor. Microsoft Kinect Camera appears under Microsoft Kinect.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? I have Windows 7 64 bit.
Please provide any additional information below. I tried using Zigfu to install with the above result. Then I tried installing the OPEN_NI_NITE (32 bit) installer from this site. The book I'm following for the kinect said to install the 32 bit version of it even if I have a 64 bit system so I did without modifying the result. I then tried the 64 bit version without changing the result either. In none of these steps did I uninstall the previous 32 bit versions.
Thanks for any help,
Mark

Posted on Jun 22, 2012 by Happy CatI actually figured it out. I used the website http://www.openni.org/downloads/opennimodules.aspx and downloaded the 32 bit unstable versions of the middleware and hardware binaries, OpenNI from this site and then the avin file from https://github.com/avin2/SensorKinect and the Kinect Camera is available.
I now have other issues so I'm curious to see if it works for you after.

Posted on Nov 21, 2012 by Happy DogFixed this problem. You need to pick the driver manually. Device Manager > Right Click on Microsoft Kinect Camera > Properties > Update Driver from Driver Tab > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
If you follow above step, you will see two different signed by. Select Kinect Camera instead Microsft Kinect Camera certification. Click Next, and you are done.
happy kinect

Posted on May 22, 2013 by Happy CamelI have the same problem on windows vista home premium, 64bit, I opened device manager to update the camera, when I browse to pick manually it shows only one option which is Microsoft camera, I tried the same but browsing to prime sense location, once I select it, a dialog box comes back saying that the camera has already the best driver, it shows Microsoft driver
