SteamVR Update (1461626459) Disk Write Error!

[almulimi]

When I try to update to the latest SteamVR (1461626459) I get Disk Write Error even though I am sure there is plenty of space available. Other games are updating just fine. Anyone has a fix for this?

I was able to fix the issue by doing the following:-

1) Uninstall SteamVR.
2) Delete SteamVR folder.
3) Restart the PC.
4) Install SteamVR.

It is working fine now.

Just to add. That's exactly what I did. It also worked.

The above worked for me.
However, I had to do some other changes.

Situation:
1. Found the my AV Bitdefender blocked (x86)\Steam\steamapps\downloading\250820\tools\USBDeview\USBDeview.exe

2. deactivated Commodo Freeware firewall's Auto-Contraitment and virusscope feature.

3. Uninstalled the SteamVR

4. Ensured that "(x86)\Steam\steamapps\downloading\" was empty

5. Reboot

6. Reinstalled SteamVR

Update. I went through a similar process. however, I couldn't get a single clean install from start to finish. This is what I did.

Right click on Steam.exe
Navigate to properties
Navigate to the compatibility tab
Set Steam to run as Administrator

Run Steam

Run the installation for Steam VR

Wait for Steam VR to fail

delete the file that failed

Run the installation again

Delete the next file that fails

Rinse and repeat until working


Hope this helps y'all out!

Yup - this worked for me. I also had to make sure to:

1) Quit and end tasks for SteamVR, Steam, Unity, and Oculus.
2) Restart my computer.
3) Delete all files in "(x86)\Steam\steamapps\downloading\" folder.

then...

4) Delete SteamVR folder.
5) Restart PC again.
6) Install SteamVR.

and now... finallly... it works again.
