Seasons will not reinstall...

(1/4) > >>

Okay so I have had no problems like this one, and this is a doooosy..  :-\ I download the new Seasons patch and have had nothing but problems since. I went on the BBS and they told me to get rid of the patch to uninstall my last EP (Seasons) and then reinstall it. So I did.. Well I get about 61% done and I get this message:

A problem has occured when trying to transfer the file 'E\TSBIN\Sims2 EP5.exe.' from the media

So I tryed to manually install it like the forum said.. I get pretty much the same message: 'C\Game Disk\Disk 1\TSBIN\Sims2 EP5.exe. from the media.

I am really confused what happened. I have never had this happen before.. Can anyone help me out on what to do.. I checked my disk it has no scratches or breaks in it..

I even tried to uninstall the game and all ep's and sp's and all install fine except seasons...

Thanks everyone... ???

Usually this happens not because you have to manually install, but because you need to manually uninstall.


Follow these steps I swear, I don't know why they bother putting the uninstaller on the CD, it works so seldomly.  ::)

Edited because I forgot a backslash.

Okay thank you. I am going to have to have my husband do this, I have NO idea how to work computers when it comes to technical stuff..

Usually I go into Control Panel/Add Remove Programs/ then find my games and uninstall from there... I take it thats not how you do it??

I've done it this way many times and have never had this problem... :-\


I just wanted to add.. When I go into my C drive/Program Files/EA Games/ The Sims 2 Seasons... The only file in there is the TSBin.. The one that I am having an issue with...

All the other files have everything in them...

Does that mean anything????

KatEnigma:
Yeah, I'd delete that file first.  ;)

And I usually start with the game uninstaller, not even add/remove programs, but I always check program files and then my registry to make sure that everything actually got uninstalled. Over half the time with Sims games, the answer is no.

dragonfly:
Is there another way besides this? When I go to do this it will not let me erase my sim 2 folder??

Can't I just change the name of the file or something..
