How to force update the RealSense R200 firmware
Raw
FirmwareUpdate.md

tl;dr : run FWUpdateR200.exe with the -force flag

I use this to fix the faulty R200 when it doesn't show up in Unity3D. Force updating the firware helps.

Start installing the SDK/DCM

Search for FWUpdateR200.exe

It was found in C:\Windows.old\Users\%User%\AppData\Local\Temp\%SomeGibberishID%\plugins\FWUpdateR200\Bin

SomeGibberishID might look something like {1d28d2f4-59ff-40da-8926-bf89b78bd9f4}

Open a terminal/command window there and run FWUpdateR200.exe -force

Hello,
could you please simplify the location of FWUpdateR200 file?
because I can't file some folders. like the one inside those brackets { }
and what do you mean by "Window.old"?

When you run the DCM installer, load a command prompt (cmd in the run box) then type the following:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp*\plugins\FWUpdateR200\Bin\FWUpdateR200.exe -Force

or to see the folder location printed out:
cd %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp
dir /s FWUpdateR200.exe
