Precompiled libfreenect drivers and libusb-win32 libs are included for Windows.

Make sure to install or update the libfreenect Kinect camera, motor, and audio drivers through Windows Device Manager by pointing it to the driver folder:
<pre>
libs/libfreenect/platform/windows/inf
ofxKinect/libs/libfreenect/platform/windows/inf
</pre>
