installation failed could not register module with openni

[APRON MAN]

ok when i install the sensor kinect thing i alwase get the
installation failed could not register module with openni error i have
openni installed but the nireg.exe doesnt work

[OctoPTibz]

I'm having this same problem with the new Beta release. The updated
binary just came out yesterday though so I assume it will be fixed
sometime soon?

[Rui Marinho]

i have the same issue, but if i install the openi unstable first
(windows) that issue goes away, but the sensor folder in primesense
doesn't have all the info like the samplexmls

is something missing in this release?

Hi Apron!
If you run niReg from the command line, does it work for you?

Thanks,
Ziv.

[Ziv Hendel]

Hi Rui!
The sensor driver that's provided by PrimeSense is for the PSDK5.0
hardware (which is also supplied by PrimeSense).
When you use the PS hardware, you do not need to make any changes to
XMLs, therefore no XMLs are supplied.

Thanks,
Ziv.

i tryd running niReg from the command line it still doesnt work

[laurentR]

hi Zvi ,
im having the same problem as Apron,
cant run niReg, i'm trying to figure it out by debugging the
source .... i'll keep you posted

[Ziv Hendel]

But can you please post exactly what happens when you run niReg?

Does it say that the command is not found?
Does it say some other error?

This will help us to debug your problem...

Thanks,
Ziv.

Hi all ,
ive downloaded the OpenNI-Bin-Win32-v1.0.0.25 unstable version, and
typed nireg -l.
which gave me an empty list of registered modules .
i tried then to run nireg . here is the result :

C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenNI\Bin>nireg -v "C:\Program Files
(x86)\OpenNI\Data\modules.xml"

Hi Apron!

0xc000001d means that the CPU tried to execute an illegal
instructions.

OpenNI & NITE requires a CPU with the SSE3 instruction set extension.

It seems that you do not have one and this is causing the problem.

Can you please tell me the exact model of the CPU you have to make
sure this is indeed the problem?

Thanks,
Ziv.

[Ziv Hendel]

Hi Laurent!

As you can see from the error message, it seems that you don't have
write permissions for the "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenNI\Data
\modules.xml" file.

This usually happens if:
1) You installed OpenNI as a user without administrator permissions.
2) You are running niReg with a user without administrator
permissions.
3) UAC (User Access Control) is turned on, which by default blocks
write access to the "Program Files" directory, even if you have
administrator permissions.
You can turn off UAC by following:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Turn-User-Account-Control-on-or-off

Thanks,
Ziv.

[laurentR]

hi zvi,
thx for the info i will double check this tomorrow ... kind of late
now in montreal ;-)
dont you love 24/7 software development ? ;-)

Hi, I'm just starting to work with Kinect on Win32, and have
successfully got the drivers installed (the LED is blinking)

However, I'm experiencing the same issue failed to write to file issue
on registration:
C:\Program Files\OpenNI\Bin>nireg -v "C:\Program Files\OpenNI\Data
\modules.xml"
83 [INFO] OpenNI version is 1.0.0 (Build 25)-Win32 (Jan

6 2011 00
:42:40)
Failed: Failed to write to the file!

I've taken a look at Ziv's suggestions that seemed to have solved
laurentR's issue. Unfortunately:
1) I installed OpenNI, NITE and avin2/SensorKinect on the
administrator account
2) running nireg on the admin account
3) And I'm on Windows XP so UAC shouldn't apply (Is there an
equivalent for XP?).

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Iain

HI Iain!

Some questions for you:
1) What error do you get when trying the NiViewer sample?
2) Can you post the output of: "niReg -l" ?
3) If you use notepad to edit the file: "C:\Program Files\OpenNI\Data
\modules.xml", can you modify and save it?

Thanks!

Ziv.

[Iain Sproat]

Ziv, thanks for responding.

1) The strange thing is that if I run the samples from the Start menu
(location "C:\Program Files\OpenNI\Samples\Bin\Release\NiViewer.exe")
it works!

If I try and run the same from the command line I get the following:
C:\Program Files\OpenNI\Samples\Bin\Release>NiViewer.exe
Open failed: OpenNI library can't find any module!
Press any key to continue . . .

Which to me seems strange as to why I would get two different
responses from the same file based on the way of accessing it...

2)
C:\Program Files\OpenNI\Bin>niReg.exe -l
OpenNI version is 1.0.0.25.

Registered modules:

C:\Program Files\OpenNI\Bin>

3) I've just done that and can verify that I can modify and save files
that directory.

Thanks,

Iain

but when trying the NITE samples, they fail from both the Start menu
and the command line.

The error message received when running it from the Command line is:
C:\Program Files\Prime Sense\NITE\Samples\Bin\Release>Sample-PointViewer.exe
InitFromXmlFile failed: OpenNI library can't find any module!

Is this related to the above issue?

Iain

[Ziv Hendel]

This is very strange!
I've never seen this problem before.

If you type "set" just before you run things that fail from the
command line, do you see this environment variables?
OPEN_NI_BIN=C:\Program Files\OpenNI\Bin
OPEN_NI_INCLUDE=C:\Program Files\OpenNI\Include
OPEN_NI_INSTALL_PATH=C:\Program Files\OpenNI
OPEN_NI_LIB=C:\Program Files\OpenNI\Lib

Thanks,
Ziv.
