GetGamepadState does not work for me

Hi,
I'm integrating OculusSDK.
I'm now integrating only the "gamepad" (input) and not the rendering.

Initialization is:
    ovr_Initialize();
    ovrHmd l_Hmd = ovrHmd_Create(0);
    ovrHmdDesc l_HmdDesc ;
    ovrHmd_GetDesc(l_Hmd, &l_HmdDesc);

That works fine and I get a seems-legal descriptor.

Later I call:
 XINPUT_STATE xis;
  int l_rc = XInputGetState(0, &xis);
  if (l_rc == ERROR_SUCCESS )
    Log("Controller connrected");

But I always get l_rc==1167 and constant looks-like-garbage state.

Could you help?

    1167 is ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_CONNECTED.
    Is the 360 controller working with other software? How about in the windows game controllers properties?

    Thanks for the hints.

    Yes. I can run OculusWorldDemo.exe, it works.

    How about in the windows game controllers properties?

    Is it the "Set up USB game controllers"?
    There are no controllers listed there.
    Should they?

    I could not find anything in the OculusWorldDemo code besides:
    XInputGetState(0, &xis);

    Is there something else?

    Thanks.

    Yep, that's the one.
    It should look like this:


    You might need to install the drivers manually if it hasn't auto detected it.

    I think XP needed manual drivers, while win 7 and above come with them. (At least I remember 6 or more years ago needing to install 360 drivers for my students whenever they moved to a different computer)
