I’m currently working on a project and I suppose I need help to solve some errors. I’ve spend a lot of time trying to connect two kinects V2 to one PC. I followed installations instructions of xlz trough this github – https://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect2/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file –
To help to understand my environment, below our initial set up :


• GPU Nvidia Quadro P6000

• Windows 10
  
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 installed

• Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 installed 

• Cmake 3.28.1 installed
• Python 3.8
• Anaconda Prompt

1. For Windows / Visual Studio installation : somebody already tried it ? how did you managed it ? (Visual Studio Version, Python version…?), it could be really helpful !

2. For Windows / vcpkg installation
   After Libfreenect2 driver being installed succefully with vcpkg, the principal error returned with this commmand – : « pip install pylibfreenect2 : pip install pylibfreenect2 »
   is
   “Collecting freenect2
