I have the same problem and there is no solution to this thread. I have no antivirus and I have plenty of disk space.

Hi. I registered to forum just to write an answer for this problem even though it is late :D

In my case problem was the installation path. For some reason it didn't have the permissions to write in Program Files or Program Files (x86). I created another folder in C: drive and it accepted.
