Oculus rift can't install :(

So for the past 2 hours I've been trying to set up my new Oculus Rift that I just got, but its been a hassle. Now whenever I run the software the program says, "Not Enough Space The oculus rift need 6.37 gb of storage." Thing is I have a spare 437 gb on my Cdrive drive.... Why?

I'm sure you've already poked about, but this might help...

Why is it so god dam complicated to install their software????... That's crazy!.. Never in my life have I seen so many hoops to jump through

It all installed 1st time for me (and most of us, I imagine). But obviously this is PCs and there's always someone who draws the hardware short straw. Maybe there are some better suggestions out there, I just did a quick Google to see if anything cropped up.

Says this "When you install the Oculus app on your PC computer, it'll install on the C: drive. If you want to install the app on a different system drive, make sure the new system drive has at least 4GB of free disk space and is formatted to use the NTFS file system."

My c drive is ntfs and has loads of space... Still can't install

Seems my c disk is dynamic. And for me to install the software it has to be basic..... That is so stupid!... I have to reinstall Windows just to use rift
