You know, you can disable UAC, which controls Run As Administrator. With UAC
disabled, you don't need RAM to do anything, and you should be able to
proceed with the install. Once the install is done, then you can enable UAC
again.
To enable/disable UAC, you use the Windows-Key and R-key, which should
pop-up the Run Box where you enter MSCONFIG. You can go to the Tools tab
where you can disable/enable UAC.
