OpenNI: Device not found in sample code even though it is detected and working

Question

I want to run the OpenNI 2 code samples with my new Asus Xtion 2 camera on Windows 10 (64 bit), but the device doesn't get found. What's bizarre is that I can execute the pre-compiled binaries of the samples and see the signal streams in NiViewer without any problem, but when I try to run the samples by compiling the source code in Visual Studio 2017 the camera is not detected. Specifically, rc in the following initialization code

Status rc = OpenNI::initialize();
Device device;
rc = device.open(ANY_DEVICE);
if (rc != STATUS_OK)
{
    printf("Couldn't open device\n%s\n", OpenNI::getExtendedError());
    return 2;
}
[...]

does not return STATUS_OK and getExtendedError() returns a no device found error upon execution.

I have only one OpenNI installation on my PC so there can't be any confusion between multiple versions.

What could that error be due to?

You need put RvcLib.dll and SenDuck.dll into build_path\OpenNI2\Drivers.

Both files can find in Tools\OpenNI2\Drivers.
