BEFORE starting install, exclude the game folder u are going to use from antivirus, I allways do this ,so when the install starts, any files that are unpacked won't be scanned by antivirus.(to be safe, get your repack from Kaoskrew website)
Kaoskrews unpacking tools, which appear in the extras\tools folder in the games folder, can sometimes be deleted by antivirus, also some of the bigger games can sometimes need at least twice the space while installing(maybe more) because usually kaos tools/unpackers will extract from the archive and make a giant temp file containing the game files, and then build the game from it. So you can see how with certain games a lot of space can get eaten up while unpacking.
Always install to short folder name like c:\games\yourgame.
P.S..Look in the games folder while the game is installing and you can see the extras/tools folder.
also don't do loads of other tasks while its installing as it can interfere with the rebuilding of the game.
Lastly, I repeat make sure sure you have a lot of free space.
Also a lot of cracks can get deleted by your antivirus ,which is another reason to exclude the game folder from your antivirus.
