The somewhat obscure issue is, IMHO, a bug in the installer design. Users need to be able to get to the Advanced panel when the Available Space test fails.

The installer should not fail in this way. Given the current set of dialogs, a reasonable redesign would be either:

1: retain current function order, but upon failure of the initial space available test set a flag to record failure and then present the license panel. The license panel would test the flag and if set, indicating failure, after the "Accept" box is checked the panel would continue to disable the "Install" button leaving "Advanced" being the only way forward.

or-

2. reorder the panels moving the space test after the license and, if opted for, advanced panels. The available space function would then return to the Advanced" panel with an error message to select a new location should the space test fail.
