Kinect OpenNI problem with XnDDK.dll

[MicMac89]

Hello everyone,

I'm going to use Microsoft Kinect in my LabVIEW robotics project. I saw a demo and description on http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-to-Connect-the-Kinect-to-Labview/td-p/1450358 . I followed the instructions, and when I run a sample program: NiSimpleViewer.exe I got the following error:

I've got Windows 7 32-bit. I can post english version of that error. Do you have any idea how to solve my problem ?

Best regards,

Hi,

This is a weird error from Open NI. I have problem tracking it on their website. Aniway, could you please tell me which version of OpenNI and NITE you installed? Is Windows SDK still installed on the conputer? Could you also post a screenshot of the device manager where the camera is listed?

Thanks

First of all I'd like to thank you for the reply.
1. I installed OpenNi version 1.4.0.2 (both 64 and 32 bit depending on OS, but I also installed 32 version of OpenNI on 64 bit OS) because when I installed earlier, stable version I couldn't install PrimeSense Sensor.

2. I installed NITE 1.4.2.4 (both 64 and 32 bit).

3. Yes, the SDK is uninstalled

4. Everything was installed corectly, my Device Manager was similar to picture posted on your page. I will attach screenshot in few minutes.

As I suppose everythnig should be alright if I use earlier version of OpenNI. Is there any chance to find them ?

Best regards,

Hi,

I also had problems with the version 1.4. I uninstalled everything and installed the 1.3.3.6 package and managed to make it work. Maybe try to uninstall all you have from OpenNI and Primesense (but the drivers) an reinstall the 3.3.6 package.

 

In the download page of the OpenNI website, chose "OpenNI Package", "Stable", "PrimeSense Package for Win x86 Dev Edition". Normally almost everything is inside (OpenNI, NITE and Sensor). You will just have to install the Sensor Interface for kinect from the Bin Folder of this zip file:

Always chose the x86 installer, it seem not to work with the x64 version of any of them.

it solved the problem I had on making it work on a new computer a month ago. Please tell me if it solved your problem as well.

Cheers

I did what you wrote, but I get another error:

It says: Cannot load library DLL 'OpenNI'. It cannot found some module. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

I looked a little on google and it seem like being a generic Windows error code. Maybe look a bit on google. Ill investigate further on my side tommorrow (but it look like a currupted something in your windows. Do you have a blank system to try ?)

I see, I installed before Windows SDK. But package which you mentioned contains 1.4.0 OpenNI installer. I found installer with 1.3.3.6 but an installer from Bin from zip you suggested needs 1.4 or later OpenNI. Thanks for advices.
