512 MB of RAM is required. It's a crap old laptop but I have 1 GB. Demo ran perfectly. So I bought the game.

Now I cannot run install because it says it needs 1 GB of physical memory. I have 1013 MB, in total (0.99 GB, the rest is restricted for the system, I guess). 

So let me just summarize... Install has higher requirements than the game itself?? How stupid is that?? And why do the developers say 512 is required when it's clearly not the case??

Is there any other way to install the game? (Honestly, I would expect Stardock to gift me a Steam version as they are not telling the truth about system requirements and I paid for the game.. but that not gonna happen.)
