Windows 8 build 8102, Kinect SDK V1.0
And so it begins that I had a win 8 box setup for Kinect development with the beta 2 sdk. Everything ran fine.
I then decided to upgrade to V1 once I saw I could still develop without having to wait on my K4W hardware to get here. I uninstalled beta2 backed up all of my projects and installed V1. I thought everything was going well until I noticed VS2010 couldn’t find the reference for Kinect (I know it is microsoft.kinect instead of ms.research.kinect).
So I manually found the reference in my program files and went on my merry way. My project built and ran fine. I then watched the new version of the quickstarts and wanted to see this Kinect Explorer in action.
It wasn’t on my system. So I uninstalled and re-installed, read every news article on the subject looking for a seperate installer etc. It’s not there.
After asking on twitter I then decided to do a refresh (I love this feature of win8) and re-install with just V1. That didn’t work either.
So now I am stuck. I can’t get Kinect Explorer I can’t follow along with the quickstarts etc.
Anyone else found a way out of this problem?
Is there a seperate installer for Kinect Explorer?
Does this just not work with Win8? Beta 2 did!
Thanks

The solution was to reset the PC not refresh it.
There must have been some settings leftover from beta2 that messed with the installer.
