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
