Clean up the C: drive?
The installer is written in Java, which means using lots of virtual memory. Depending on your configuration the available disk space may be insufficient.
Every Microsoft installation program has the problem it can't account for already installed software, when it is checking free space. How do you address this issue? By cleaning up the disk, I guess.
