Do you have used already methods to get more free place on drive C?
Empty trash.
Empty all temp or tmp folders.
Empty the cache of your broswer and/or move the location for the cache 
of you browser to drive D.

You can try this:
(1)
Uninstall the old version before you install the new one. Then there 
might be enough place on C, because the new version isn't significant 
larger then the old one.

(2)
1. Unpack to a folder on D. The installer has a button to choose the 
destination.
2. Use the custom installation. There you can set the destination folder.

If it still does not work, then the default temp folder can not grow 
large enough. You can try to set a new location for the temp folder in 
the Windows XP settings.

(3)
Or a different way. Do not install using the installer, but make an 
administative installation. You will get a full usable LO, but no system 
integration. Therefore double click a file to open it in LO will not 
work out-of-the-box. You can put a link to soffice.exe on your desktop 
to get a quick access, or you assign the file name extension to 
soffice.exe later on explicitly by using "open with...".


Kind regards
