Do you have the password to decrypt it? I'm assuming (there I go ...) you don't, being as you "somehow" installed it.

Still an issue?

If this is still an issue. . . try the following

+++++++

To turn off or temporarily disable BitLocker

Open Bitlocker Drive Encryption by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Security, and then clicking Bitlocker Drive Encryption.* If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Do one of the following:

To temporarily disable BitLocker, click Turn Off BitLocker, and then click Disable BitLocker Drive Encryption.

To turn off BitLocker and decrypt the volume, click Turn Off BitLocker, and then click Decrypt the volume.

+++++

copied from below

good luck.

If all of the above fails, click "Start" then "Accessories" then "System Tools" then "System Restore" and select a highlighted date prior to your install. Let it reboot and try it. It should forget that anything bad happened.

Obvious question, but did you reboot? If you enable BitLocker on your boot drive, often you need to restart your computer in order for some programs to install & run correctly.
