Cannot update apps on Oculus Home - please help!

[PayneSculptures]

Hello Oculus friends!

I'm having a strange problem where I cannot update my Rift apps that currently have pending upgrades to install. Each one will download and then it just tries to install the update (counts from 1 - 100%) and the I get an error message saying: "Sorry, Oculus home could not installl *name of application*. Try contacting support."

I have home 1.11. The pending upgrades are Medium 1.04, Dead and Buried, Lucky's Tale, Bigscreen Beta.

Other notes: I have tried closing and reopening home, signing out and back into home, restarting the computer...even The beta reset.

Thoughts? Have any of you experienced this?

Hi all, exact same problem on the exact same games. Mcafee removed and everything downloaded instantly

[PayneSculptures]

Hello All, when I also have been able to reliably fix the issue by disabling both McAfee firewall AND virus scanning. Only doing the firewall does not help but both together fixes it every time and allows updates to download. THANK You for your help on this matter!

I'm having this problem.
No apps will update, stuck on Attention required... installing third party etc...

I have disabled by antivirus and still nothing... I've repaired and still nothing.... I've uninstalled and reinstalled... still the same.

I'm guessing its a problem with home software.

@cybereality what do you mean with "better folder with proper permissions". My OH system software is always on C:\Program Files\Oculus  (as is default), and I also checked and "OVRLibraryService" has full access to this folder. However, there are problems with automatic update of OH which basically NEVER works. It is also clear in the OVRLibraryService log that there is a problem either doiwnloading the archives from your server, or it may download them but can't access them then locally. (But to me it seems it doesn't even d/l them).

It references a Download folder within the Oculus folder as well as a tmp folder within the folder, but there is nothing in it. The log file clearly shows it tries to get the *.zip files from these folders but there is nothing there, so the automated update aborts.

Please advice, eg. in  particular about proper permissions that you refer to.

(Reinstalling or repair is not an option, this may well work, I want to know why it doesn't work from the software. It's at pending and never ever anything happens because of this).

Ty!

@cybereality is no longer with Oc@cybereality

What might be happening is that your antivirus maybe deleting this file as Oculus tries to download it. Are you running any antivirus/antimalware software?

[flexy123]

NOD32, but I also tested w/ disabling it (as well as disabling defender). (I also added exclusions to any Oculus paths to NOD32, just to be double-safe.)

I have no idea what is wrong here, but everything points to a permission problem.
