The only way I know of to get around this is to reduce the available
size of the drive to something that the software will recognize.  You
can create a temp folder and move several gigs of files to that folder
until the software will install.  

The root of this problem seems to be that the software tries to
determine if there is sufficient space for the installation.  If the
value returned is not within a particular range, the software issues
an error stating that there is insufficient drive space.  Apparently,
this only occurs in very large logical drives (maybe 13Gb or larger).
