You're screwed.  I also chose to install to a non-standard location
but still ended up with the Ageia stuff in C:\Program Files.  But on
my install it's "only" taking up 98 MB.

You should also note that it puts the .ini files, screenshots and
other detritus in your 'My Documents' folder.  The .ini files and what
have you are no problem, but the screenshots can add up pretty quick;
especially if like me you frequently hit the F9 key accidentally. Plus
demos are destined to go in the same place, so I assume any demorecs
you do will also go there.  But don't blame Epic.  Thank Microsoft and
Vista for this nonsense...

98MB? That Aegis stuff sucks up 2GBB in no time. Actually, UT doesnt 
even start to install when I run out of space.

I have My Documents on D: and my page file on E:. I have never run in to 
this problem before with another game.

It shouldn't matter, should it? I mean when the game calls to the physics 
engine, it should know where it is at. A non-standard install should still 
work provided you can fully install it.

Thats the problem, I cant install it. It tells me I am out of disk space 
because it is installing on my C drive which only has 2G left.

I have been wanting to rebuild, but I doubt I will for a Beta that is 
probably the same game with somewhat better graphics.

Then there's something wrong.  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.

Probably three areas actually needed:
1-the downloaded, packed demo .exe
2-the unpacked demo .exe (to be deleted automatically after install)
3-the actual installed game files

I can see why over 2GB is needed now.

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.

Yep.  That would explain it.

It also helps to defragment your hard drive.

Set your windows variables to a drive with enough space...that works 
fine...
normally it save tmp and temp files to your c:\docs and settings...
Change this to a drive with lots of room...
Worked here, had only 400Mb on c:...

grtz...

Okay - bit late to help you, but in case others have the same problem: 
With XP and Vista you can change the directory certain system folders 
point to. You can point My Documents or My games to other directories on 
other drives, even remote drives. (It's how windows domains work)

But yes - you shouldn't have to mess around and it's yet another bug and 
example of a rushed release.
