The only antivirus on my windows 7 machine is windows defender. I shut defender down and rebooted but I still get the same error. ??? Any help would be appreciated.
You could try launching the Oculus app as an administrator so that your antivirus won't see it as a potential threat. I've never had problems with that though. I would highly recommend installing a different antivirus though. Also, if you shut windows defender down and rebooted, then it would have started back up again once your PC booted back up.
Do you get any sort of prompt on your Desktop when you try to launch the Quill installation? It may be asking for admin privileges or firewall access while your looking through the headset and since you can't see it, it prevents you from installing.
I had the same problem right off the bat. I knew it wasn't AV related, and I thought it might be due to installing on different drives, but all I had to do was reinstall Oculus using the "repair" feature and problem solved! -Windows 10/Defender
I had the same issue. I tried everything. Last thing I did, before i threw my PC, was I went to settings, then beta and chose restart oculus. That seemed to work for me.
Having the same issue with Asgard's Wrath. It downloads 80 gigs and then will either say virus software is blocking it, or that it just couldn't install. Antivirus software has been deactivated and uninstalled, I've tried running as administrator, and restarting oculus through beta, and although that will restart the download, it still won't install. I have installed other games since then, it's just Asgards Wrath. Requesting a refund in a support ticket now.
