Entities 0.17 windows build error: "The scene catalog has not been loaded yet" on VR

Hi,
I have problem building my game. Well I managed to build following the instructions on the following link to create my build: DOTS Project Setup | Entities | 0.17.0-preview.41 (unity3d.com)
But only with a normal standalone Windows build. What I’m trying to do is to build an oculus PC-VR game. Once I switch the player back to a normal FPS Player the build succeed after several restarts. Switching however to the OVRPlayer the build crashes and nothing work. On the “normal” regular way I manage to build with my VR setup but the subcenes and entities are not loaded.
Does any1 had this issue or know a workaround?
The strange thing is he goes to the end, coping final data everything but at the end I get the following message:

Use build configuration with windows standalone x64. Otherwise subscenes and entities will not be built correctly, as you’ve figured out.

If it crashes on x64 build, check what’s causing the crash in logs.

I did, and as I said on a non VR project it’s working, but once i switch my FPS player to the oculus OVRplayer,
the build failed and I get the above errors

Something is blocking files, preventing libraries from copying. Try restarting Unity / PC;

Unfortunately, I tried it several times, with no luck,
sometimes there are more sometimes less DLL files unity couldn’t access.
The strange is although that it only happens when I change the player to the oculus OVRPlayer, using the “normal” player it works like a charm.

I have a suspicion though. The machine I’m developing on is not recognizing my Rift S, because of the USB3 port.

So what I’m always doing is build the current state, and test on my game on my Gaming Laptop where I can connect my VR Headset.
It’s no problem to do so with the regular build workflow, but maybe building through the Build Configuration Asset Inspector window, it’s causing to check if my oculus is connected or not, and break than the build as he is not finding it.
Strange though that building through the Build and Run menu “File > Build” there is no issue at all, and also that the build break at the very end of the building process after he has copied all files etc…

Have you found a solution for this?
