Using kinect_upload_fw.exe on Windows

First of all, make sure the drivers from 'libfreenect' are installed, they are in 'platform/windows/inf' in the libfreenect code base..

Download the MSR Kinect SDK from: http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/4/C/84C9EF40-EE49-42C2-AE26-C6E30921182F/KinectSDK32.msi

Explore 'KinectSDK32.msi' using 7-zip from http://www.7-zip.org, extract the 'media1.cab' file in it and get the firmware file, named 'UACFirmware.*'

Put 'kinect_upload_fw.exe', the firmware file and 'kinect_upload_fw.bat' file in the same directory and double_click on the 'kinect_upload_fw.bat' file.
