So, increase the VM's memory to 4000Mo (memory = maxmem because we don't use memory balancing).

The VM will shutdown after the installer completes the extraction of Windows installation files. It's a good idea to clone the VM now (eg. `qvm-clone win7new win7newbkp1`). Then, (re)start the VM with `qvm-start win7new`.
The second part of Windows' installer should then be able to complete successfully. You may then decrease the VM's memory to a more reasonable value:
The second part of Windows' installer should then be able to complete successfully. You may then perform the following post-install steps:
Decrease the VM's memory to a more reasonable value (memory balancing on Wingows is unstable so keep `memory` equal to `maxmen`).
