How to overcome kinect sdk 2 installation failure on windows 10

Question

A Windows 10 laptop fails during Kinect SDK v2 installation. The SDK was previously working on this machine when the OS was at either Windows version 8 or 8.1. I have since upgraded to Windows 10 and am unable to reinstall the Kinect SDK 2 (which had been uninstalled in the interim).

There is similar question about Windows 8.1 laptop, but no real answer to that post except the OP himself, who says he repeatedly retried 25 times and finally magically succeeded. I can't tell if it's exactly the same issue.

The error message at the end of the install process simply pointed me at the log file which I can't turn into a fix. Is there any systematic way to overcome an install error for Kinect SDK 2 on Windows 10 when a previous install worked fine on the very same machine with an earlier version of the OS?

The log file:

Answer 1

Your PC may be missing some .dll without explicitely telling which ones.

I reinstalled MSVCR110.dll with https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679 and it solved the issue.

Answer 2

The problem may can be with the graphic card. Make sure you have enabled the graphic card as the main video output. I had the same problem and when I have tried with the graphic, it worked.

Answer 3

What finally worked for me was to delete the program cache folder ['C:\ProgramData\Package Cache']. Note that C:/ProgramData is a hidden folder.

I tried the suggestion of running sfc /scannow from the administrative command console (cmd), and it did not work for me.
