Package installer problem

(1/3) > >>

Ok, here's a weird one.  I tried firing up the Maxis package installer on my desktop system to install baratron's sim, and I keep getting a 'missing expansion pack' error, even though I have all the expansion packs.  It worked fine on my test laptop system, which has the exact same expansion packs. 

Any clues on how to fix this one?  Registry error/problem maybe?

Edit: yup, it was a registry error -- for some reason, the registry never got updated on my desktop, and the shortcut still referred to the original version of the package installer, not the newest one.  Editing the path in the registry fixed the issue.

Just an FYI for anyone else who may encounter this....

Every new install of a new EP means something is missed!  I think the CDs are just too shiny and new!

akatonbo:
Huh, I wonder if that's also the origin of the common error of similar type, which most people get around by just using Clean Installer to install everything. (That's certainly what I do. It's the program I have associated with Sims2Pack files anyway.)

ZephyrZodiac:
I use the multiSims2Pack installer for walls and floors.

jsalemi:
Yea, I always use CleanInstaller, but baratron packaged her self-sim on a lot, so it has to be installed with the package installer to work properly.  Drove me nuts when it didn't work until I sorted out the registry.
