OculusSetup.exe doesn't work

[rafaelf82]

I run the installer, download 2gb of data, starts installing then get an error message:

"Restart computer
Sorry, we encountered an error during installation.
Please restart your computer and try running Oculus
Setup again. If you still experience issues contact
Oculus Support".

Tried restarting and running oculussetup.exe with administrator privileges.

Found this on the logs:

Seems pretty clear the error is in the files being downloaded.

My only antivirus is windows defender, and I already deleted the download cache folder multiple times.

OS is windows 11, updated.

On PC the file 1f7d9f4e6cf57497e6a5da7cc62016f40d95d5c56c02b2e4efb42c9056056afb

So, after days of diagnosing, it turns out I had an issue with my PC motherboard. Thanks for the help.

[IsKingO]

@rafaelf82 What issue did you have with the motherboard.  I'm running into the same issue with this.  Tried everything.  Could you possibly help me out with this.  Thank you!

[rafaelf82]

It was an hardware issue, I returned the motherboard to the seller who confirmed the issue.

My motherboard had something wrong that would fail whenever the OS tried to list devices connected to it, so it failed with blue screen during windows installation and failed on the OS when attempting to install anything that listed devices, like nvidia driver installation and the oculus desktop setup.

Fix was to replace the motherboard.

Im also getting the same problem (Meta link setup fails with logs containing NullReferenceException at System.IO.Compression.HuffmanTree.GetNextSymbol).

One (probably temporary) workaround that worked for me is just using Virtual Desktop without installing Meta Link setup. 

Im surprised this still allows me to use my Quest for SteamVR games.  I think at some point I will still need to replace my motherboard as Im also getting failures trying to upgrade the Nvidia GPU drivers, but for now Im happy to avoid that motherboard replacement.
