0.4.4 Camera Driver Not Installing Properly

I just upgraded from 0.4.2 to 0.4.4 for ED and I can't seem to get positional tracking working. I've been at this almost all day trying my luck with updating from older versions to doing a fresh install of 0.4.4 with no luck as of yet. 0.4.2 installs the camera driver just fine but the upgrade to 0.4.4 seems to kill it for me. I've tried running the driver installer directly from the Temp folder but each time it starts the install process and just disappears. I'm running Windows 7 32 bit at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

my advice would be to try a system restore to a time before you upgraded, once the restore is complete manually uninstall all oculus software, reboot, reboot again, install 0.4.4

my experience with 0.4.4 was completely smooth, i simply installed 0.4.4 over the top of the previous version as I have done with all of the other updates

I've got the exact same issue. I just recieved my DK2 this week. My headset installs and works fine, but the camera installs as: "Camera DK2". I've tried following the instructions presented by u/bilago in this thread but nothing has seemed to work. I've tried additional powered usb hubs. I run on an iMac with Windows 7 x86 bootcamped, and the camera works fine on OSX, but when I try to get it to work in windows it doesn't install correctly.

Anyone else on Win 7 x86 that can say they installed 0.4.4 successfully? The two people with the issues are both on this OS.

This is not the same as your issue but I upgraded from 0.4.3 to 0.4.4 because my tracking stopped working which was probably a temporary thing but I figured it was time to upgrade anyway. The tracking started to work again but I can no longer update the firmware. It says something about needing exclusive use of the Rift to work even after a fresh reboot.

edit: Win 8.1 64bit in my case.
