ovrHmd_CreateDebug does not create virtual device

I just started OVRServer_xxx.exe (both x86 and x64 are fine) manually from C:\Program Files (x86)\Oculus\Service. ovrHmd_CreateDebug work fine. Why oculus service does not start ovrserver?

So I take it you don't actually have any headsets and are just testing the SDK?

I'll get DK2 headset in a month or two (there are several problems getting dk to another side of the planet), so right now I can only work with virtual device. In previous version, 0.5.*, there was no problems. In 0.6 version OVRServer just not starting, though OVRServiceLauncher is running as service. So both ovrHmd_Create and ovrHmd_CreateDebug returns 0xfffff445. With manually started OVRServer ovrHmd_Create returns 0xfffffc11 (different error) and ovrHmd_CreateDebug works fine.

By the way, there is an minor but annoying bug in samples since 0.6.0.0 version (Win32_BasicVR.h):

result = ovrHmd_Create(0, &HMD);
if (result != ovrSuccess) ovrHmd_CreateDebug(ovrHmd_DK2, &HMD); // Use debug one, if no genuine Rift available
VALIDATE(result == ovrSuccess, "Oculus Rift not detected.");

This code always failing without physical device connected - call to ovrHmd_CreateDebug is useless. Assigning result is missing.

Same for calling ovrHmd_ConfigureTracking several lines below - virtual device does not support tracking and sample will exit with error "Failed to configure tracking".

Can you provide the log files from this post (either attach the files or post w/ code tags)?
