Install Error "Access to the path 'DaybreakNative.dll' is denied."

Hello All,

My main PC and Oculus account started "playing up" - I was stuck in a update loop with a game (Mage's Tale), I'd not done a fresh install of Windows for ages so decided to start again in the hope of solving the issue. I can now not even install the Oculus software! I've got a ticket raised with Oculus and am waiting for second line support, to be fair Oculus are quick to respond and after 7 messages (conversation) have put me through to second line).
I've tried to install loads of times (for 6 hours yesterday!!!) and have had several different errors, started with "Connection Timed out" but managed to fix that, I'm now stuck with the error below...Don't suppose anyone has had this and overcome it?

This is a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro, with only Nvidia drivers installed...

Any suggestions appreciated

Are you using Controlled Folder Access? It can cause all sorts of issues, including with Oculus updates.

Not that I'm aware of, although if this is on by default I might be! How would I check?

Cheers

Open Defender. Go to Virus and threat protection settings, and then scroll down to Controlled follder access.

Thanks for the suggestion but controlled folder access is off.

Still no luck installing...

You running Malwarebytes by any chance?
This has now stopped me from installing ANY game/app in oculus until i disable it to install.Works fine after the game has been installed

Thanks for the response but it's already off, really fed up with it now!

Cheers,

27 messages in with Oculus support and no result...fresh install of Windows 10 (from the MS website) and no joy...aarrgghhh!!!

Turns out it was faulty RAM!

MemTest86 turned out loads of errors on one of my 8GB sticks...funny as I never get random errors or BSOD
