New install of R200 software (drivers, applications?) on Windows 7

DMerc5 — Fri, 04 May 2018 18:52:15 GMT

Apparently, I'm not using the proper keywords as my searches on Intel's rabbit-hole-warren of websites has led to nothing productive.

I wish to use the R200 in Windows 7 (or better yet, Debian 9 (stretch)) but Win7 first. Where, oh where, does one find that bit of software to install so I can test (play with) the R200 camera, please??? (Can you tell my frustration level so far?)

Back when I first got it, it didn't work in any version of Linux, with AMD or Intel CPU's that I owned. Trying again as I have a renewed desire to experiment with it. So, can anyone point me toward the actual URL for this?

Also tried to "register" it's serial number on Intel's site. What a horror of a joke that was.

Any guidance appreciated, thanks.

The number of people who have been able to use a RealSense camera with Windows 7 is very low, as it was originally designed for a minimum of Windows 8.1. There have been a few who claimed to have done it though.

I could not locate a Debian version of the original Librealsense 1.12.1 but there are apparently Fedora Linux versions.

You do not need to register the camera's serial number. The serial that the old SDKs refer to is one emailed to you when you fill in a registration form. You can bypass the serial and download the 2016 R2 SDK directly with a link on the page below.
