The virtual memory is disk space that Windoze treats like RAM. The Currently Allocated value will always be something between the initial and maximum values you set, but changing the maximum won't automatically cause Windoze to allocate that much. It will allocate only as much as it needs. Are you rebooting after changing the setting? Do you have lots of free disk space? Are you attempting the installation immediately after rebooting, before running any other apps?
