openni2 doesn't detect windows kinect

Hi guys.

I'm using ros hydro I read in the ros answers site that openni2 and freenect can be used with windows kinect, so i installed using sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-openni2-* and installed freenect with sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-freenect-stack

But there is a problem, the windows kinect is not detected when i type roslaunch openni2_launch openni2.launch There is a message that says [ INFO] [1383342884.120184670]: No matching device found.... waiting for devices. Reason: std::string openni2_wrapper::OpenNI2Driver::resolveDeviceURI(const string&) @ /tmp/buildd/ros-hydro-openni2-camera-0.1.0-0raring-20131015-2254/src/openni2_driver.cpp @ 623 : Invalid device number 1, there are 0 devices connected. and this message keeps iterating

When i type lsusb in the console, it detects the windows kinect.

I'm a ros newbie, i have no clue what to do next. I'm doing something wrong?

I'll appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance. :)
