Meta Quest/Oculus Unreal from source .NET hostfxr.dll problem Windows 10 Pro
Hello everyone. I can't seem to get past this .Net problem when running setup.bat from the
Meta/Oculus fork (github)(most recent 5.3):
Failed to load the dll from [E:\MetaQuestDEV\UnrealEngine\Engine\Binaries\DotNET\GitDependencies\win-x64\hostfxr.dll], HRESULT: 0x80070005
The library hostfxr.dll was found, but loading it from E:\MetaQuestDEV\UnrealEngine\Engine\Binaries\DotNET\GitDependencies\win-x64\hostfxr.dll failed
- Installing .NET prerequisites might help resolve this problem.

I've reinstalled all the .Net 8 dependencies, have 4.8 framework. The hostfxr.dll file IS in the directory it fails to load it from. Just have no clue at this point. Just beginning meta programming so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue at tag oculus-5.3.0-release-1.92.0-v60.0
Official Unreal Engine compiles without issues.

and also ensure you have the correct libraries for VS Code per
With that I think that's all we did to get it working. I remember we did also copy hostfxr.dll from the standard Unreal 5.2 build over to the same directory location in the Oculus fork tree, but I don't think this did anything (but mentioning it just in case). I truly hope this helps and wish I could be more specific, but we got it working withing a day of this post and then plowed forward instead of return to this.
Hello jittdev,
Mine was a permission issue. The dll's were missing the user executable permissions. Now it runs fine.
Thank you, 100% this. For folks who use command line tools to unzip this might be more prevalent, I ran into this after using 7z in a cygwin Terminal. chmod a+x Engine/Binaries/DotNET/GitDependencies/win-x64/*.dll resolved it.
