Oculus Setup: KB2670838 and KB3033929 required, but already installed

paranoidcoder

So i'm trying to run the Oculus setup, however, every time I try it will not allow me to continue because i do not have the windows updates KB2670838 and KB3033929, but I do have them installed!

The setup file i grabbed from here:
https://www.oculus.com/en-us/setup/

And I've verified through Windows "Installed updates" that both of those updates are present on my Windows 7 machine.


Against my better judgement, I even went through and uninstalled the windows updates, and installed them again, but this problem still persists!

Help? I've been trying to get this thing to work for the last 6 hours!

There are tons of sites that can show how to use the command line. I can try to explain the steps.

- Copy the file "OculusSetup.exe" onto your C: drive (not in any folder, just in the root).
- Open the command window by pressing the Windows button and typing "cmd" and press Enter..
- Type "C:" and press enter. When you are typing, don't use quotes (just type what's in between the quotes).
- Type "CD/" and press enter.
- Type "OculusSetup.exe /bypassHotfixCheck" and press enter.

That should be it. Hope that helps.
