so i'm getting my rift s in about a month and thought i'd download the software early so i can start quickly when the headset arrives. i'm glad i did this because I've run into an issue, the software downloads just fine, but when it gets to the second installation bar it says i need to restart my computer. so i do this, and the issue persists, i must have done it 6 times now and it still happens, i found some forums from a couple of years ago but none of the solutions to that problem seem to work. i would be very grateful if anyone could help me solve this, it may be something to do with the antivirus but i don't know much about that, could anyone giving an answer be as simple with their answers as possible. forgive me if i don't know how to do something
I would not attempt to install the software for a device you do not have yet. That is asking for trouble, as the installer will need to see the Rift S when prompted to plug in. I would clean out all the installed files following the below, then get the software set up when you actually have your Rift S. Only takes about 10 min.
