Good morning, afternoon, or night, friends!

I'm having a bit of trouble getting the Kinect V2 and the ZED camera working in Windows RTAB, unfortunately. I have the latest release of RTAB, and have followed the instructions on the github page to get it all working, unfortunately, the software seems to be having trouble working with the two cameras.

With the ZED, I'm having the error "Camera Initialization failed..." in a windows dialog box with the following log message being reported:

[ERROR] (2016-10-15 13:33:43) CameraStereo.cpp:1237::rtabmap::CameraStereoVideo::init() CameraStereoVideo: Failed to create a capture object!

---

With the Xbox Kinect V2 sensor, I again get the windows dialog box reporting to me "Camera Initialization failed..."

and the corresponding log message appears:

[ERROR] (2016-10-15 13:35:19) CameraRGBD.cpp:1287::rtabmap::CameraFreenect2::init() CameraFreenect2: no device connected or failure opening the default one! Note that rtabmap should link on libusb of libfreenect2. Tip, before starting rtabmap: "$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/libfreenect2/depends/libusb/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

----

I've tried a lot of troubleshooting and am just not sure where to go from here.

---

Just a side note, when I test FREENECT with the example program, both of my Kinect v2 sensors work just fine, and the ZED camera works well with the provided SDK. :)

Thanks a bunch friends for your help in solving this mystery, and I greatly appreciate it!
