--- Comment #6 from garagebay9@gmail.com --- Can confirm with a 9.0-rc3 test build that this fix not only gets us to the download, but the download can complete successfully and it begins the install process.
Note: stopping and attempting to resume the download from a partial downloaded cache causes the program to exit as soon as it finishes loading the cache to the point where it left off. So you have to let it download fully in one pass. There are other issues inherent to the Oculus installer that cause the download to slow SIGNIFICANTLY towards the very end (less than 1kb/s in some cases). Starting a download of something else on the machine seems to improve speeds. This is a documented issue even on Windows.
Once the download finishes it begins to attempt to install, and successfully copies some files (Vulkan related libraries and executables), but not the main software to the specified install directory.
There is an install error of some kind at that point, that does not give a lot of details about what went wrong (there appears to be some window rendering issues unrelated to this bug causing some text to be missing). But that is much further than we have gotten previously trying to install the Oculus software under WINE. This is really encouraging progress.
