Well, from a legal perspective, the OP has every legal right to install the software - otherwise, how is he really able to determine if it's suitable or not?
Imagine buying a car without being allowed to test drive it. Imagine where you can't test drive a car, but must buy it, as is, without testing it. And then, post sale, if it's not to your liking, you can't return it. Software is absolutely no different in principle.
The OPs story, and Mark's story have completely turned me off ever buying this book (I was considering it down the track).
