Can't install Oculus app

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi I just got a Quest 2 and I was installing the Oculus app but unfortunately I wasn't able to do so. I followed the instructions for installing the software to my second drive and I get the admin permissions message to pop up. After I accept this I see the installer pop up as a background process and then close. I looked into a lot of different fixes, but when I scrolled through my OculusSetup.log I saw that the software was trying to find a drive to install to. I have 3 drives, but my c drive is just big enough for windows so I won't be able to install the software there. The log shows all 3 drives, but it chooses to write to the C: drive which doesn't have enough space so it aborts the process. The other two drives have more than enough space for the application so that shouldn't be an issue. I would appreciate any help as I was eager to finally hop into vr.

Any updates on this problem, I'm seeing the same things with a drive with available space shown at 1.2Tb.  It looks like a 32bit/64 bit overflow error.  (Not something I have ever done in my 30+ years of coding. 🙂 )
