(Mac/Bootcamp) Can't install HoloLens Driver or Mixed Reality Portal?
Hello,
I a have big problem to get my Mixed Reality Headset ready. First I have to say, I try to install the Headset with a Macbook Pro under bootcamp. There were no problems installing Windows 10 Fall Creator x64. I have loaded all updates after the clean installation and then plug in the headset - first the USB (get a signal tone), second the HDMI (without signal tone) - all via USB-C adapter. Windows registered the new device and installed the headset software from the manufacturer - Dell Visor. But the Mixed Reality Portal didn't start and it is also not found on the Start menu or via Cortana.
Then I searched for new updates. There was a new driver but the download was canceled:
Microsoft - Holographic - 6/21/2006 12:00:00 AM - 10.0.16299.1062 (6)
I load the driver manually and try to install it via the Device Manager - but no chance. Every time I get the message "There was a problem with the Installation". The device name is "HoloLens Sensors".
Previous unsuccessful Solutions:
- a new clean installation of Windows 10
- download all updates via Windows Updater
- reboot every time after update
- manual installation of HoloLens Sensor, no success
- plug in and out the USB and HDMI cable
- install Windows 10 SDK
- unlock the developer mode
- tried another old Macbook Pro where I can connect the USB and HDMI plugs directly, but I got the same problems
Some data about my system:
- Windows 10 Version 1709 (Build 16299.192) via Bootcamp
- Macbook Pro 13", CPU i5 7267U with 3.1Ghz, 16GB Ram, integrated GPU Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650 with driver Version 22.20.16.4836
- Mixed Reality Check Software says the Macbook fulfill the minimum requirements
- Dell Visor Mixed Reality Headset
I really hope that you can help me or is it not possible to run a headset on Windows Bootcamp? How is it possible to install the Mixed Reality Portal app or the Drivers without a headset?
Thanks!
