I am trying to install the SIMS 2 (I have double deluxe) on my PC.

I put the disc in, and no autorun appeared. Well, I went through my settings to “add new program” and went through all that, and it says it can’t find the “installation program”. I don’t understand what to do! Someone please help me; I really want this game to work. It will have been a complete waste!! IDx

You can right-click the drive in My Computer to stary Autorun, or Browse for the setup executable.

ok - first things first

check the cd’s for scratchs/cleanliness

if they are not clean, get a refund!

if they are clean

put disk in drive
go to start>my computer
double click on your cd drive with sims in (normally D: or E:)
look for the exe file - should be called wither sims2 or install
double click it

that should work

if not, post what goes wrong here, and if you can’t see those files, post the entire contents of the cd drive here

if you can’t get into the cd drive, you either have a screwed disk (get new one!) or a screwed computer, so, again, post here if that happens!

The EXACT same thing happened to me except it was University, I got it replaced too and …nothing. Maybe try the setup.exe file in the correct file for Sims 2.

Hey.
I have exactly the same disc as you and computer, but it worked on mine!

This what I did:
1. I opened up the START menu and selected My Computer.
2. Then I inserted the disc.
3. Then, the Sims 2 logo popped up where the DVD Disc icon was.
4. Then, I started!
