[SOLVED] [Error] Can't reinstall Oculus Software, "please restart and try again"

Hello,
I uninstalled Oculus Software after noticing the Runtime issue that appeared around March 6th, and now that I'm trying to reinstall it, with the new installer from the Oculus website, each time I try, at the end of the 4.9GB download, I get an error window asking me to restart my computer and retry. Which I did, several times, after deleting everything related to Oculus that I knew I could delete (appdata files,etc...), I tried without my firewall, I tried in safe mode from the C drive root, nothing works.
Can you help me please ? I'd like to use my rift again, but for now it seems impossible.
I'll link my OculusSetup.log file and screeshots of every file that comes out of a "Oculus" search on my C drive, so maybe you can tell me which file is safe to delete.
Thank you very much, have a nice day

PATHenvironment variable and select it. Click Edit. If thePATHenvironment variable does not exist, clickNew.PATHenvironment variable. The path you need to add is C:\windows if it's not there already. Click OK. Close all remaining windows by clicking OK.it should look like this: (dont add the Oculus paths, c:\windows should be enough)
The run setup again BUT PLEASE RUN IT WITH EVERYTHING OFF AS IN the PREVIOUS STEP as that fixed the previous error, do not run as admin, and run the setup file from your C:\ drive, not from downloads directory

Now I'll setup the headset (again) and hope I don't encounter any other problem.
Have a nice week end !
