[SOLVED] Rift Sensor Driver not found

Neotribal

I had a problem yesterday that I ended up fixing on my own... decided to post and share my solution in case anyone else can benefit from it (problem stemmed from a botched uninstall.... power outage).

My rift sensor was being reported as "Not detected" within the Oculus App. Device manager was reporting that it was unable to find the driver. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Oculus Software had no effect. I found a folder located in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\Oculus\ that contained "OculusRiftSensorDriver.msi", but running the installer had no effect on my problem. Here's what worked:


Unpacked the .MSI contents using 7zip and renamed the files as follows:
  • OCULUSCAT > OCUSBVID.CAT
  • OCULUSINF > OCULUSINF.INF
  • OCUSBVID109 > OCUSBVID109.SYS
  • OCUSBVID111 > OCUSBVID111.SYS
Right-clicked OCULUSINF.INF, clicked "Install", driver installed successfully, fixed.

Neotribal - it worked for me, too, having the old DK2 and DK2-Camera. But since i've had a cleaning program (temp folders and other stuff) running a few days ago, this oculus folder in appdata/local/temp was gone. So i've downloaded the oculussetup.exe , ran it with the "repair" option and the newly created temp/oculus folder was back again. I've copied this folder to another partition as a backup - and followed your description.
The blue light on the DK2 camera sensor  went on and VR programs are back working again.

Many, many Thx !  (... now there is still the question left - why the updater didn't do it's job right ...).

Hey.  I tried this option out, but the driver install fails, claiming that

"The third party INF does not contain a digital signature"

Any suggestions?  I am not excited about disabling integrity checks. 

[EDIT] - Oops - misspelled the CAT file :smiley:

I dont do this very often but Ive had a similiar issue that I just couldnt install even after troubleshooting for 2 whole days straight and I just wanted to say thank you so much, this solved my issue.



I didnt do exactly what you did (I just dragged the sensor driver program to the desktop and run it) but it seemed to work and I couldnt be more thankful.



Thank you for your help.

I didn't have to move it, just executed it and it worked.
Thank you, guys.
