Kinect driver is included in KinectSDK32.msi: http://download.microsoft.com/download/ … tSDK32.msi
and KinectSDK64.msi: http://download.microsoft.com/download/ … tSDK64.msi
both are WHQL'ed for Win7-only, require .NET4 & possibly VC2010, latest Direct X run-time (to use the drivers, likely not). I have no idea how (or why) the "KinectManagementService.exe" is installed or used. I do note that between the x86 & x64 drivers, in the "Drivers" folders all of the Inf files have the same individual SHA1 signature, all other driver files are different. In the "Services" folders the UAC.bin files have the same SHA1 signature. The applications & dlls in the "SDK" directories are identicle, except for "KinectCOMLib.dll".
Speech support was noted as x86 only in the SDK.Toolkits --> http://c4fkinect.codeplex.com/
