Kinect SDK

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/search.aspx?q=Kinect%20SDK

1.       Make sure the Kinect device is not plugged in to the USB port on your computer.

2.       If you installed any previous Kinect for Windows SDK, uninstall it first. Similarly, you must remove any other drivers for the Kinect device.

3.       Close Visual Studio.
Note: You must close Visual Studio before installing the SDK and then restart it after installation to pick up the KINECTSDK_DIR environment variables that the SDK requires.

4.       From the download location for the SDK Beta package, double-click the link for your Windows installation: 32-bit or 64-bit.

5.       Once the SDK has completed installing successfully, ensure your Kinect device is plugged in to an external power source then plug the Kinect into the PC’s USB port. The drivers will load automatically. Your Kinect should now be working correctly.

6.       To run the samples, ensure that the DirectX and Speech prerequisites are installed. They are listed in the previous section.
