My application needs Kinect SDK (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=27876) installed in the user machine. So I need to verify if Kinect SDK is already installed on the machine.
If not, I want that the installer to offers the official download link to the user…
Is it possible? If it is.. how can I do it?
Thanks in advance..
So far the official Kinect SDK is targeted for developers.
Even though you could detect the absence of the SDK, the user must first install Visual C# 2010 Express edition before installing the Kinect SDK. This is one of the requirements to install the SDK. Personally I think it’s too complicated already.
As mentioned on the SDK page (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/kinectforwindows/), in February this will all change. My guess is that Microsoft is releasing a Kinect Runtime so that users can install it and run Kinect applications (without needing Visual C#).
