Thats not the point, it should just work . . . . . Everything else I have on my computer installed fine, As all programs go on F:\ which enables me to wipe out C: when ever I want to reformat.
So the probable solution to this is to chunk of a K of data on to a drive with something free for a few min or 2 and then move it back.
If you want a solution to your problem, thats probably it.
