Install Intel RealSense viewer on windows 7

[ECosn]

Hello,

I'm trying to install Inter RealSense viewer, I used the file Intel.RealSense.SDK.exe found on GitHub, version 2.16.0.

I'm using windows 7.

I manage to make the installation, but when I open Intel RealSense Viewer, it directly stops with an error.

Could you please help me?

Thank you,

Emmanuel

RealSense SDK 2.0 is not officially supported on Windows 7. The official minimum is Windows 8.1.

The RealSense development team did do some testing with a tool called UVC to try to bypass the Windows drivers on Windows 7 but experienced problems.

If you want to know more about this, I recommend posting a question about this on the RealSense GitHub site. You can post a question there by going to the link below and clicking on the 'New Issue' button.
