Ok. So I cleaned up my C: drive to get to 2.3GB of free space with my 
page file on E and the game installing on to D.

It installed this time. My C drive went from 2.3GB down to 740MB then 
ended at 2.1GB. This is strange since I only cleaned up 300MB of space, 
but it worked so I am happy.

I hope this helps someone else out there.
