LibOVR is not a valid Win32 application

 

I downloaded the Oculus SDK from here Downloads - Oculus SDK for Windows. However, the Oculus World demo project does not run in VS2022 and gives the error that Unable to start program LibOVR.lib,  LibOVR.lib is not a valid Win32 application. This demo project builds but does not run. How do I make it run to test the demo application?

just test the oculusworlddemo.exe in bin folder that already included.

libovr is not an application, its only used by oculusworlddemo

for launch/debug, make sure you set world demo as startup target, not libovr.

Thanks. When I set world demo as single startup, and click run for the oculus world project I get the error saying OculusWorldDemo not found. When I check the file explorer and path, I could not find the oculusWorldDemo.exe. So I am not sure how to run any demo project with VS2022 and build upon it.
