Hi all, i have been having to install meta horizon worlds for a few days and keep getting the error message "Sorry. it looks like your antivirus software blocked the installation of meta horizon worlds. to date i have tried the following.

Disabled Windows Defender / anti virus.

Disabled Windows Firewall.

Turned off the meta "oculus" processes in the task manager as seen on the "major geeks website"

Repaired the Quest link app.

The app works fine on stand alone (quest 3) I'm currently at the end of my tether i am able to initiate the download of other games in the quest link app that i have purchased previously.

Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated thank you so much!
