How do I get Sims 2 Fun with Pets to install properly?

I am trying to install Sims 2 Fun With Pets collection. Every time I do, a message pops up saying "A problem occurred when trying to transfer the file 'SP1\TSBin\Sims2SP1.exe' from the media. Do you want to retry to copy the file, or cancel the installation?" I have tried retry and the same message keeps appearing. I've hit cancel and ejected the disc and what not. I even tried installing to a new area. What do I do to get it to install properly?How do I get Sims 2 Fun with Pets to install properly?A similar thing happened to me.

Try this:

Eject the CD and restart your computer. As it's restarting, hold F8. This will make your computer start in Safe Mode - but if the Windows logo appears you've pressed it too late and will need to restart again.

If it's worked the screen should show some Safe Mode options. Use the arrow keys to select the option you want. Then log on to an administrator account. The screen should look something like this (if you're using Vista): http://www.transmatrix.net/Vista/SafeMod鈥?/a>

Then insert the disk again and try to install it. You may need to go into the Computer folder and run the disk from there.



If that doesn't work...try cleaning the disk? Or replace it.How do I get Sims 2 Fun with Pets to install properly?For starters, what the disc is trying to transfer is the Family Fun Stuff Pack itself (its designation is SP1 (SP for Stuff Pack, and 1 as it was the first)). So worse case scenario, you can try going into the disc from My Computer (right-click on the disc drive and select Open) and manually drag-and-drop the .exe file and see if that helps any.



Other than that, could the disc itself be dirty (i.e. a fingerprint)? That is enough to make certain areas of a disc unreadable until cleaned.
