Let us assume Omega is using old software calls for those parts they do not
need to change. In that case, there is a very likely bug in their code that
explains your installation problems.
The old DOS API could not distinguish between disks having more than 2 GByte
free disks, and disks having no space available at all (more than 2 GByte
disk returns a value the DOS API considered negative).
Solution is simple: Check if you have more than 2GByte free disk space. If
you have, copy a lot of big files to somewhere on the disk where tyou can
delete it later. When there is less than 2 GByte free space left, try the
install again, should now work. After all is done, remove the "space
occupying" extra files.
