How to fix this sims 2 installation error?

Asked by xxthatgirl 10 months ago, 14 answers.

I'm having problems to install Sims 2. When it gets to 17% the installation stops and says:

"A problem occurred when trying to transfer the file 'TSDATA\Res\Sound\Voices.package' from the media.

What can I do to fix this?

By the way, I have Windows...

Vista, just in case that helps.

No you don't.

I had Windows XP before and it worked.

The Sims 2 is compatible with Windows Vista.
It says so on the website but it says nothing about how to fix this problem.

I had the same problems, It was a flaw or a scratch on the CD, so I cleaned the disk with a cleaner I purchased from Wal-Mart, and it fixed the problem. Hope that can help.

same problem as every one else..

When it gets to 17% the installation stops and says:

'A problem occurred when trying to transfer the file 'TSDATA\Res\Sound\Voices.package' from the media.

I've installed it before and it worked fine, no problems.
but I uninstalled it about last year and im trying to re- install it but it keeps coming up with this problem.

Please help if you know anything I can try to fix this.

I've tried a cd drive disck cleaner and cleaning the sims 2 cd, nothing works.

and I've tried installing it about a million times the same thing happens

HELP PLEASE!!!

Damn I never knew how many people had this problem! I have it aswell.. I'm trying to figure out why. I know that if you install the Sims Superstar before Sims Unleashed.. you will have problems when you go to install Unleashed.. that's why I'm having problems. I read it in the handbook after I did this. So I'm still trying to get one of them to install! Such a pain! Good luck to everyone.. If I figure anything out I'll let ya know.

I have this problem
here are the answers I've discovered from searching round

save it to a mp3 or ipod whilst plugged into the computer..

uninstall any virtual drives on your computer like Nero Alchahol 100% and Dameon.

im trying the mp3 one atm so yeah

its nothing to do with the disc.
everyone has this problem and mainly its all random items that cant be copied.

google this:

check out the foroums and figure out just how many people are having this problem
