Try running windows clean up, it will delete temp files and old installation files and might free enough space to allow you to reinstall. Alternatively you could move some stuff from your C drive to your D drive, giving you more space. If you can't , save the installation file to your D drive and choose install here and it should save it to D.

Hi there @LaughingEagle466,
Thanks for reaching out regarding your query with installing the Meta Quest Link App on a different PC drive.
It is important to note, even if you are installing the program on a separate drive, Windows will still use the primary C: drive for storing temporary files. If you want to install the Meta Quest Link app on a different system drive, you an do so by following these steps:
- Press the Windows key + R to open the Run command
- Enter the downloaded OculusSetup.exe file path using the default command:
- [drive]:\Users\[Username]\Downloads\OculusSetup.exe /drive=[new system drive]
- Please note, the space between "exe /drive" is important. The command will fail if it is missed.
- For information on changing the file path or entering it correctly, see below.
- [drive]:\Users\[Username]\Downloads\OculusSetup.exe /drive=[new system drive]
- Click OK.
Changing the file path when installing on a different drive
- The command can also be entered with ":[new system drive]" instead of "=[new system drive]". For example, [drive]:\Users\[Username]\Downloads\OculusSetup.exe /drive:[new system drive]
- This command assumes that the install file was downloaded to the Windows default download location; the Downloads folder on the C: drive. If it was downloaded elsewhere the command will need to be changed accordingly.
- For example, if it was saved to the Desktop instead of the Downloads folder, the command would become [drive]:\Users\[Username]\Desktop\OculusSetup.exe /drive=[new system drive]
- Replace [drive] with the letter of the drive where the Meta Quest Link app installer was downloaded (by default this is the C: drive).
- Replace [Username] with the actual username for your own Windows profile that they are installing the app under.
- Replace [new system drive] with the letter of the new drive where you would like to install the Meta Quest Link app.
- For example, C:\Users\Johnny\Downloads\OculusSetup.exe /drive=D
- A common error for users trying to install to another drive is to omit the space between .exe /drive. Without the space Windows will not recognize the command.
Ensure the default library directory is accessible:
- In the Meta Quest Link app, click Settings.
- Click General.
- Click Edit in the Library Locations section.
- Select Add Location.
- Enter the new location. Do not use OneDrive or a removable storage device as the location.
- Set the new location to default for now.
If that does not work, try the following method:
- Navigate to the folder where you have the OculusSetup.exe file downloaded
- In the address bar of the File Explorer window type cmd and press enter
- In the Command Prompt window that comes up type the exact following command and press enter: "OculusSetup /drive=[new system drive]"
- Replace [new system drive] with the desired drive to install the Meta Quest Link app on
