I download the setup files and run the application. I have disabled all anti-virus, totally removed previous runtimes, deleted the oculus folder that was left over, cleaned the registry, rebooted. The application downloads 842 mb and then attempts to install but it then fails and tells me to restart the computer and try again. It fails each time.
This is the exact same error I had during the Oculus Home beta. I posted the same issue in the forum and received NO REPLY. There is no explanation for why this is happening and they seemed uninterested in what the problem was during the Home Alpha. Will anyone care to help now that it is publicly released?
I am on Windows 10 Pro with the latest Nvidia drivers released today.
I GOT A SOLUTION! The "Oculus" folder in Program Files could not be created: the privileges in my computer was busted. Solution: manually create the "Oculus" folder in Program Files (x86), right click, and grant acces to everyone, and uncheck "read only"
Mine was failing due to it not liking my VS C++ Redistributable. I uninstalled what I had and let the Oculus Home install do what it wanted. Then everything worked fine.
Would have liked to save the 842 megs of Oculus software I had to keep re-downloading trying all these work arounds. Also, blowing away the library on repair? On that note; uninstalling the VS C++ Redistribution worked for me.
