Error installing Meta/Oculus Link — “Selected disk does not meet requirements”

Hello!
I encountered a problem while trying to install Meta/Oculus Link on my PC. The installer shows the error:
“Selected disk does not meet requirements. Link requires 3.75 GB on an internal NTFS disk.”

My system details:

  • Drive C:\ — NTFS, 71.5 GB free out of 222 GB
  • Drive D:\ — NTFS, 230 GB free out of 447 GB
  • Both drives are basic, internal, not external

What I have tried:

  • Running the installer as Administrator
  • Installing in Safe Mode
  • Clearing temporary files
  • Downloading the latest installer from the official Meta website
  • Attempting installation on different drives (C and D)
  • Changing system region/language to English (US)

Result: the error persists.

Is there a working way to bypass this disk check? Maybe there is a fixed installer or patch from Meta? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Here's another possible solution: Not Enough Space - But I do?! | Meta Community Forums - 632272

    But actually, I'm wondering if you could save the installer to a USB memory stick and then simply run it off the stick using the command line given in the above post?

    OculusSetup.exe /drive=D

    where D is whichever drive you want to install to.

    I certainly wouldn't recommend going through all the hassle of converting a dynamic drive to a basic drive like they did in the post, that's nuts 😁.

    That shouldn't happen. Have you by chance moved your Windows user folders to a non-default location or something? Or perhaps you have spaces or foreign characters in your username or user folder path. A small number of users had issues with that. Otherwise, maybe you have an anti-virus that might be interfering (Windows Defender is fine). Oh, also make sure you are not installing off a cloud drive or something. One user had an issue, I think the drive where they saved the installer was being mirrored on OneDrive, and that broke the installer.
