Oculus App Failing to Install

Trying to download the Oculus app onto D drive. No way to change the drive (even though the help center says you can). Moved items off C to D in order to make space for the download. Oculus app will NOT download and complete the install. Please advise of options to try, as nothing we are trying is working.

Hey @j.abrell88 we want to make sure that you are able to move around your memory as you please. Lets get down to solving your issue.

Following these steps:

  • Press the Windows key + R to open the Run command
  • Enter the following path: [drive]:\Users\[Username]\Downloads\OculusSetup.exe/drive=[new system drive]
  • The command can also be entered with ":[new system drive]" instead of "=[new system drive]". For example, [drive]:\Users\[Username]\Downloads\OculusSetup.exe/drive:[new system drive]
  • This command assumes that the install file was downloaded to the Windows default download location; the Downloads folder on the C drive. If it was downloaded elsewhere the command will need to be changed accordingly.
  • For example, if it was saved to the Desktop instead of the Downloads folder, the command would become [drive]:\Users\[Username]\Desktop\OculusSetup.exe/drive=[new system drive]
  • Replace [drive] with the letter of the drive where the desktop app installer was downloaded (by default this is the C drive).
  • Replace [Username] with the actual username for the customer's Windows profile that they are installing the app under.
  • Replace [new system drive] with the letter of the new drive where they would like to install the desktop app.
  • For example, C:\Users\Johnny\Downloads\OculusSetup.exe /drive=D
  • A common error for customers trying to install to another drive is to omit the space between .exe /drive. Without the space, Windows will not recognize the command.
  • Click OK.

If that does not work, try the following method:

  • Navigate to the folder you have the OculusSetup.exe file downloaded to
  • In the address bar of the File Explorer window type the following and press enter: "cmd"
  • In the Command Prompt window that comes up type the exact following command and press enter: "OculusSetup /drive=[new system drive]"
  • Replace [new system drive] with the desired drive to install the desktop app on
