The Sims 2: University Installation Problem
Anyone know how to get the The Sims 2: University to work? Every time i try to install it, it stops and can't continue at 69%. EA Says buy it again, lol, im sure their is a cure.

Is the Sims 2 original or backup copy? You may have issues if it is a burnt copy.
|
That is an issue known on "backup copies" as Duffman stated. The origional CD's do not have that issue. Install from the origional CD's.
|
They are the orginals, straight from the case.
|
Very strange. Are you using a NOCDFix for the origional game? If so may need to put the origional exe or any fixed files back in order to install the game.
Have you tried making cd images of the install cd's and installing from them instead? Could possibly be something going on with the protection and your cd drive having problems reading it. |
I bought The Sims and The Sims: University. I installed the The Sims 2 just fine, went to install the The Sims 2: University, and i get an error at 69%. I have tried uninstalling and deleting everything related to The Sims, no luck. I tried copying the CD's to folder on my computer and running them. I still get the error. I can't even copy the whole thing as I get the error everytime it gets to that point. I have tried all the Technical issues from EA, they are stumped. But yet, i have to pay them to get it fixed?

ya sometimes companies can be a pain when it comes to these things, ill check around on the net and see if I can find a similar problem and possible fix. Atm, I gotta go get some sleep however.

Make sure to follow the steps below exactly as they read, or else the install may not work.
Double-click My Computer. Right-click on the Local Disk C and choose Open. Right-click inside the window and select New, and then Folder. Name the folder Disk Images it is important that the name has a space in it. Double-Click the new Disk Images folder to open it. Right-click inside the window and select New, and then Folder. Name this folder Disk1. Repeat steps 6 and 7 while substituting Disk1 for Disk2. It is important to note there must not be a space between "Disk" and the number. Insert Disk 1 of The Sims 2 University into your CD-ROM drive and if the autoplay starts, cancel it. Double-click My Computer to open it. Right-click on your CD-ROM drive and choose Open. When you see the contents of the disk in the Window, click on Edit at the top of the window and choose Select All. All the contents of the disk should now be highlighted, click on Edit at the top of the window again and choose Copy. Open the Disk1 folder you created under C:\Disk Images; click on Edit at the top of the window and choose Paste. This will copy the contents of the CD into the Disk1 folder. Repeat steps 9 through 14 for Disk 2 until you have copied each disk into its appropriate folder. Once the disks have been copied, remove ALL CDs from any drives. Open the Disk1 folder under Disk Images and double-click on autorun.exe to start the installation. To save disk space, you can delete the Disk Images folders after the installation has completed. |
