How to develop XNA projects without registering the Xbox360 kinect on my PC

Question

I want to develop an XNA project to create augmented reality. I have the xbox360 Kinect sensor with me but when I try to debug it, it gives me the error saying :- Error 1 No devices are available to deploy project 'Xbox360Game1'. Register a device using the XNA Game Studio Device Center. Am I doing something wrong or do I need a game console to debug the project or isn't it impossible to debug projects only with Kinect sensor and visual Studio.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you've created an Xbox 360 Game Project, instead of a Windows Game Project.

The quick solution would be to right click your game project in Solution Explorer, and select "Create Copy of Project for Windows". This will give you a duplicate, syncronised project that targets Windows.

I'm not sure how this interacts with Kinect. You might need to fix up some references or something.
