Question

Can't uninstall or install Meta Quest Link desktop app

I've had severe issues trying to link my Meta Quest 2, so I've decided to try and reinstall the program. But as i tried to uninstall it through Window's installed apps. It wouldn't show the uninstall screen. So I got suggested to manually uninstall it by deleting files from:

\Program Files\Oculus
\Users\[name]\AppData\Local\Oculus
\Users\[name]\AppData\Roaming\Oculus

After this i tried reinstalling, but the setup file just won't pop up.

I've tried several things, like repairing the .NET framework, and even removing all register file names containing Oculus or Meta Quest.

As of now, I can't use the program anymore, is anyone familiar with this problem?

Thanks in advance!

 

The setup log gives this output;

Legend has it that downloading the installer provides an option to uninstall it. Weird.

Honestly the pain of trying to actually get rid of this software is worse than removing most viruses.
