Failed to initialize OpenVR: Installation path could not be located

[billiegoose]

I encountered an error running the installer. Was I supposed to install something else first? I was trying to install this so I could have a virtual keyboard like in this video

Here's what I ran: v1.0.3 (1dc083e) OpenVR-InputEmulator-v1.0.3-SteamVRHomeVersion-hotfix2

Here's the error I got:

VR runtime path: Failed to initialize OpenVR: Installation path could not be located (110)
Unable to read VR Path Registry from C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\openvr\openvrpaths.vrpath

I'm hoping it's something like "Oh yeah, you need to download OpenVR and install that first" or "You need to install the regular version before you apply the hotfix version" or something simple like that.

Guess what? You need to install SteamVR to get it to work if you have no vr equipment. (at least that helped me)

Ok i'll bite why would you need this if you don't have vr

If you don't have vr, you can emulate vr. I thought it's ok as long as the controllers exist, even if it's homemade. Yes, i am trying out Arduino and stuff, cause why not.
