To build the installer, first build the 32 and 64 bit release configurations of the solution. If the DLL was built with a debug configuration it's possible to use WinDBG to set a breakpoint in the filter code which will be hit when using the camera with any DirectShow application. If you have run the installer make sure to uninstall the package before doing this. Build the solution with all desired configurations.
The driver component provided by Code Laboratories is WinUSB compatible so there isn't any need to install another one. If it detects that the Code Laboratories driver is already installed it will only install a 64 bit DirectShow filter. The easiest way to get started with this driver is to head to the releases section and download the installer.
That driver is more mature and well tested than this one, but it only provides a 32 bit source filter and won't work with 64 bit apps. There's another PS3 Eye driver by Code Laboratories that seems to take a similar approach to this driver in that it provides a custom DirectShow source filter instead of using the default wrapper. Windows 10, ps3 eye cam (sleh-00448) driver. Thus if the source filter is only provided as a 32 bit library the camera can only be used by 32 bit applications. Every application that uses a DirectShow camera must load its source filter library usually a wrapper to a native camera provided by Microsoft. This project provides both a 32 bit and 64 bit source filter.
On the other hand native camera drivers have slightly better performance. Another big advantage of a user space driver is it's much easier to directly make use of other libraries such as libusb and the github project that this driver is based on. It provides a generic way for user space programs to communicate with the device.
The part that runs in kernel space is the WinUSB driver and it's a stable component provided by Microsoft. This means any flaws in this driver will only affect the program that's using the camera instead of crashing the entire operating system. The biggest advantage is all of the code runs in user space instead of kernel space. This has several advantages and disadvantages compared to a native camera driver. This project makes use of the generic WinUSB driver to communicate with the camera. This code has only had limited testing so there may be compatibility issues with some apps. Any application that goes through the standard DirectShow API to connect to a webcam should in theory be able to use this driver. This project wraps that code into a DirectShow source filter so that it behaves like a USB camera with a native Windows driver.

If no driver is detected then the installer will also install a 32 bit filter as well as a generic WinUSB driver component. The installer will detect if the Code Laboratories driver is installed and if so will only install a 64 bit DirectShow filter. Any bugs are very likely to be in user mode so it shouldn't affect your entire system, only the application that's using the camera. This is the first release! There aren't any known bugs but there has only been limited testing. The installer will overwrite the previous version of the driver if it was already installed. This release includes a fix for a potential buffer overflow and some other small fixes.
