Hey, about a month ago I have bought beat saber in the oculus store. Things are working nicely, the updates are great. Except the most recent update, 0.12.1, just won't install. The oculus program simply says "couldnt install, please contact occulus support". Anybody knows whats going on?

If your SSD ever crashes then expect problems! If you installed Oculus with AV ON then expect problems
RESULT: I now had 9 Updates to complete Prerequisite checks and now just 2 remain to refuse to "Update" which is simply to check them against the already installed and working game which I can actually launch manually.
Oculus Download Management at it's BEST!!!:o
So that's 2 games you owe me!!!
I tried Copy/Paste.
I tried Cut/Paste.
Tried all those to same Drive but root Directory.
Tried all those but to C: Drive from 2nd Games Drive.
Tried all those with Running Oculus Update whilst in other locations.
There was an old post about redirecting the Juncture by some method.

Tried shutting down non-essential services and apps. Dug through a ProcMon capture to see if I could see the file lock (nope). Even declared an AV exclusion for the Software folder. No joy.
In the end, I shut down the Occulus app, moved the four game folders from C:\Program Files\Oculus\Software\Software to C:\Program Files\Oculus\Software\Software\Old, restarted Occulus and initiated the upgrade from the Library screen. Worked. Now to figure out if I lost any save data and put it back...

It crashes to desktop shortly after beginning play.
I have tried completely uninstalling and re-installing a couple of times, no joy.
It is completely unplayable for me.

I have no game software on C where Oculus software is installed.

Steam Program can be installed onto a 2nd Drive and it always works.
Oculus gets Permission Issues if using any OS Folder for the main Program which it directs you to in the install path.
So either install Oculus to it's own Folder on C:\ OR better still to put it on a 2nd Drive instead to further prevent any OS Permission issues.

All my other games work just fine. While I would like to try Lone Echo with the Rift S now, I can live without it so have it uninstalled. If at some point in the future it gets updated and might work I will try again.

" The redistributables mentioned download to the initial Oculus directory, so be sure that the Oculus software has permission to write to that directory. It's especially important if the software was installed in the Program Files folder, as this is a Windows protected folder.
You can try reinstalling the Oculus software in a different location (one that isn't Windows protected). To do this:
1. Uninstall the Oculus software.
2. Navigate to where the setup file is location. Enter
cmd
in the address bar.· This opens a command prompt with the current working directory set to that location.
3. Enter:
OculusSetup.exe /drive=E
· You can choose any drive letter here.
