DK2 Setup on Windows 10
Hi there,
I'm feeling a bit lost after searching the Oculus developers site back and forth serveral times now.
My question simply is this: How do I set up my DK2 from scratch (drivers and all) on Windows 10?
Every way I followed lead to the download page which supposedly contains the runtime, but only offers the SDK. The SDK does not contain any setup files.
The OculusSetup.exe I found eventually somewhere else entirely (not in the Downloads section, oddly enough) only seems to work for the CV1.
I know there used to be a download page for runtime releases, the latest being 0.8 or something, I believe. Where has that gone to and why is it so hard to find?
Any pointers will be very much appreciated.

- I just went through the process,here is what u need to do:
1) Uninstall your Oculus runtime and other software and restart. [NB: If upon restart your desktop is weird and no windows open, your Oculus needs to be turned off (in some cases it becomes the primary screen)]
2) Download the software here: https://www.oculus.com/en-us/setup/
3) Run it and let it begin downloading the drivers
4) Download the latest Nvidia Drivers and install them in the meantime. Don't restart until the drivers have finished downloading on Oculus
5) Go through the wizard, setting up an account etc. When you get to the bits about setting up the CV1, just skip most of it, including the bit where you have to plug in your rift and get it to detect etc. IGNORE THE WARNINGS ABOUT NOT DETECTED/NOT IN USB 3.0 PORT - just skip
6) The Home will open and you'll get a warning about the DK2 not being supported. Put the DK2 on and you will see that is not the case.
7) In the DESKTOP version of Home (both are always open), go to settings > general > Allow unknown sources - switch this last on
8) Run the game you want that supports Oculus Rift

- because they hid the setup, even google has a hard time to give the url...

Driver update ? and all this questions does not belongs to the dev forum but to the support forum !
Yes, i have nvidia GeForce 960, and I update form http://www.nvidia.pl/Download/index.aspx?lang=pl- I have the rift working however i get a oculus hardware error.. Oculus has detected a hardware issue that is preventing you from setting up your rift. Check that your headset and sensor are connected ... The headset works... I CAN SEE the VR ROOM with the program choices.. the problem is my sensor does not work. I plug it in and I hear the windows noise to let me know it sees something but the light never comes on. When I look at the windows 10 device manager I can see under HUMAN INTERFACE DEVICES it ha a RIFT DK2 SENSOR USB When I click it for details, it says it is working properly, however when I go to EVENTS tab it says
DEVICE NOT MIGRATED
Is that why my sensor does not work??
Any help would be appreciated...
thank you...
