No way a physics engine is going to use > 2GB on install. The entire demo is using only 1GB. FWIW I had exactly the same problems as the OP. To begin with I had about 980Mb free on C: ad the install dies saying there's only ~400M free. I have my page file on a non-C: partition and installing to yet another partition. The only solution for me was to clean up the C: partition until there was ~2B free. After the install completes there's still over 1G available - so I assume there must be temp files that are needed initially which are deleted after it's finished. HTH Chris.
