Not enough disk space to install sims 2 from app store?

I've seen lots of threads resolving the problem of there not being enough disk space when installing sims by a CD Disk, but I'm trying to download it from the app store so none of them apply.

I have 12 GB of space free on my macbook and the application only needs 7.52 GB.

Ideas?

I keep getting 'not enough disk space available'.

I can't open it from the applications folder rather than the Disk because I haven't been allowed to buy/instal it yet.

I have cleared 17 GB of hard disk space and 11 GB of memory space.

The requirements online when installed say 10 GB of hard disk and 4 GB of memory.

I bought my Mac last year so I don't think my system is too old.

Ideas now?

When I get above 17 GB it instals but at the end of the hour long installation it again tells me it failed to download, not mentioning space .

All apps are packed for downloading, you will need more space to unpack. (at least double the size)
