BLENDER 4.2 ALPHA USD BRANCH installation does not complete

When I try to install Blender 4.02, it just gets stuck in this registration process.

I’ve already used the Launcher Cleanup Tool to do a general reset and nothing worked.

I uninstalled the Nvidia launcher and nothing worked either.

I formatted the PC from scratch and nothing worked either.

Can anyone help? Here’s the log.
launcher.log (6.8 KB)

According to the log, everything is running great. It found the app, downloaded it, installed it and is ready to run.

  1. Hit the Windows Key and typing in “cmd”
  2. type in "C:\Users\Alien\AppData\Local\ov\pkg\blender-4.2.0-usd.202.1\omni.blender.install.bat
  3. See if it installs and if not what errors it gives. Please copy and paste the exact error back.

How long are you leaving it to install? These installs can get to 99% or 100% and look like they are hanging, but in fact they are just writing shader cache and it can take a while.
