I've had a similar issue with an old game, I think it was "Broken Sword", when I tried to install it on a newer machine except the problem was not RAM but hard disk space. The setup was attempting to find out how much space was left on the disk before install but the counter wrapped around since I had several hundreds of GB free on my disk which was probably an insanely large amount in 1996 when the game was released. Anyway, my "clever" solution back then had been to fill up my disk enough before the install so that the setup would detect more free space.
