Kinect on win xp?

hello,
trying to get kinect to work on win xp prof sp3 on toshiba satellite.
installed vvvv_45beta27.2 with addons.
a folder named addonpack is now created on the same level as girlpower, lib, licenses, crack, root, etc… seems to be correct.
now, when creating kinect nodes(devices microsoft) and opening the help files the nodes become red (so far i did not install open ni, all kinect open ni nodes appear red without any in or outlet).
do i need another, newer kinect driver from microsft? i understood the device mircosoft nodes should work immediatly without any extra drivers blah…, no?
after reading the kinect it is not clear to me if kinect works for win xp at all.
another strange thing is the open ni selection on their website. i read in this thread VVVV & Kinect “be sure to install the 32b vercions … even if you have 64b os”…
so what could be the right download for the ni:

open ni binaries:
open ni stable for win x64(64bit) dev or redist?
open ni stable for win x86(32bit) dev or redist?

open ni compliant middleware binaries:
prime sense nite stab build for win x64(64bit) dev or redist?
prime sense nite stab build for win x86(32bit) dev or redist?

very confusing it all…

ai armin, regarding OpenNI your question should be answered on the kinect page, where it says:

  • OpenNI 1.5.2.23 (32bit, stable, redist edition)
  • NITE 1.5.2.21 (32bit, stable, redist edition)

oh must have over read this. thanks joreg. g a
