Offline Installer
Adding in my vote for an offline installer. I work in a SCIF and there is NO option for an online driver installer. We own 4 DK1's, 4 DK2's, 4 CV1's (Which we are struggling to use) with a potential to buy thousands for our agency.

- Here is what we did:
- Open Windows Explorer (This Computer, My Computer, etc)
- Start the installation on any PC.
- Find "OculusSetup-DownloadCache" Folder in C:\
- Double click the folder
- Take ownership/Permissions
- Open Task Manager and highlight OculusSetup.exe
- Let the installer download the files to the computer
- As soon as the computer says "Installing...," END TASK for OculusSetup.exe in Task Manager
- Copy the OculusSetup-DownloadCache folder to a flash drive
- Copy the OculusSetup.exe file (the installer stub) to same flash drive
- Copy the OculusSetup.exe stub and the DownloadCache folder to new computer, making sure you copy the DownloadCache folder to the root of C:\
- Run the OculusSetup.exe
- It will go into a "Not Responding" state temporarily. Just wait a few moments.
- It will "download" the files from the DownloadCache folder and install without the Internet!
- You don't get "OculusSetup-DownloadCache" unless you're online and the setup program is working (even being online doesn't guarantee this).
- Can you provide for us the cache folder with working DK2 oculus home ?

It appears to be working. Many thanks !- Any chance you could Zip them up, I cannot download it, keeps timing out and the stupid installer has no "resume", getting a brilliant first impression of Oculus and VR :(
- You don't really expect Facebook owned Oculus to let you use the device offline? Even if you manage a workaround, get prepared to get hit by a rock any later version.
