I wanted Sims 3 to be installed in my computer, but every time I click the set up there is an error.

I don't know what kind of error this is. I wanted this game badly.

Could someone tell me what could be the problem?

I can’t install Sims 3.

The Sims 3 is a social game. There are many causes of your game is not running.

Firstly check the CD is ok.

There could be some data missing. Missing data might be the cause of your problem. Change your CD from where you bought the game. Change the game and ensure that the CD contains all the data.

The Game is around 7 GB (not exactly) in space. If your game CD contains this much space and the game still no running then change your windows (If you want to play the game badly). Changing windows can solve your problem.

I think you have got your answer.
