Hi @CallMeDeans! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the desktop team.

This is a known bug in ComfyUI Setup 0.4.72 and earlier: the installer can report "Insufficient space" even when you have plenty of free disk space, especially on systems with multiple or large drives. The root cause is a faulty disk space detection check in the installer code. There’s no reliable workaround for 0.4.72, but the bug is fixed in version 0.4.73 and later—upgrading will resolve the issue [details][fix PR].

Running as administrator and verifying your PowerShell path are good steps, but they won’t fix this specific bug. If you need to install right away, you could try the portable version or manual install as a temporary solution [docs].

To reply, just mention @dosu.

@dosu is there a simple installation for 0.4.73?

Almost there! Fix is on the way. You may use v0.4.73 (below). I've had a report that this version may not automatically update (to future versions). If that happens it's an easy fix: just download & run a newer version and it'll update itself and fix everything.
