Is anyone successfully running a PointGrey camera on an x64 Windows system?

The videowrapper complains that “PGRFlyCapture.dll cannot be found”.

The CMU driver does not recognize the camera.

And DirectShow is not an option, since the there’s no x64 version of FlyStream.

I know it all comes down to Touchlib being 32-bit and hardware needing 64-bit drivers. But are there any viable options?

Guess you have to e-mail Pointgrey for the proper (64b) drivers and use the vwcapture plugin.

The CMU driver wont work, its a 32 bit driver…

In fact, I am using the proper x64 drivers. FlyCapture works fine, I can see the image from the camera and configure the settings.

The problem comes when I launch Touchlib. With vwcapture, it opens a message window which gives me the “PGRFlyCapture.dll not found” message. The dll is there, but I guess videowrapper can’t see it because it expects a 32-bit version of it.

And, afaik, there’s no 64-bit version of videowrapper either. Don’t know what to do…
