OculusSetup.exe Does not work

Oculus Setup fails to install. The application closes moments after opening, with errors pointing to KERNELBASE.dll and System.OverflowException during the installation process. The setup terminates due to unhandled exceptions related to image rendering in the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) subsystem.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

  1. Re-downloaded OculusSetup.exe – Downloaded a fresh copy from the official Oculus website.
  2. Cleared Temp Directories – Deleted contents from C:\Users\joela\AppData\Local\Temp to ensure no conflicts with previous installations.
  3. Ran as Administrator – Launched the installer with elevated permissions.
  4. System File Check (SFC) – Ran sfc /scannow to verify and repair system files.
  5. .NET Framework Repair – Repaired and updated the .NET Framework using DISM commands.
  6. Compatibility Mode – Ran the installer in Windows 8 compatibility mode.
  7. Checked Event Viewer Logs – Identified .NET runtime errors and overflow exceptions tied to the installation.

The issue persists despite the above steps. Requesting further guidance or assistance in resolving this installation error.
