I had the same issue. In the graphic options under 3D select the "HMD and headphones" option, then re-launch ED (quit the launcher too). The Oculus store has to run all the time, at best, before you start the ED launcher.

Just to add - i had the same problem and did all these things and was still stuck. Turned out i had to have the rift plugged into the same graphics card as the monitor.
Thanks all, just generated an oculus key from the ed store and copied everything to oculus and it worked.
This should only be considered as a last-ditch effort, but I was having all kinds of trouble getting ED going on the DK2. I finally got to the point you're at (waiting for the elitedangerous32.exe to load) and could not make it work.
I did a fresh install of Win 7 x64 and it was 1. install Oculus Home, 2. install ED, 3. Play (ok, 4. you'll have to go into the graphics menu of ED and chose HMD/headphones in the 3D settings). I may have gunked up my system with numerous install/uninstalls of Oculus Home and a crapload of other work-arounds in an attempt to get it working when I didn't know what the hec I was doing.
Remember, this is a last-ditch effort, but it solved it for me.
Edit: you got it going. I'll leave this up for posterity.

And suddenly... my problem makes sense. +Rep, good sir.
Pre-Oculus rig was GTX970 SLI with a 3 monitor span. I plugged the Rift into the second card, turned off SLI. As soon as I turned on HMD (<anything>) it would lose its mind and go blank-screen on me. In hindsight, it kind of makes sense. It probably doesn't know to render the display mirror to a separate graphics card...
I've got a DisplayPort-->HDMI converter arriving tomorrow so I can run the Oculus *and* all three monitors off the 970 simultaneously. We'll see if that plays nicer.
This was particularly frustrating, though. I had this working last night, and just hadn't realized *WHY* it was working. As a tech guy... I'm a little embarrassed that I didn't figure that out all by myself. SLI just always magically worked. Wasn't thinking in my excitement and frustration.
