Error message when installed Sims2 Open for business

Hi akach564,
I saw your post wanting to uninstall The Sims 2 and the other Expansions that you have for it, since you did not mention what version of Windows you have I will be giving several way to remove The Sims2 and it's Expansions.
Win XP:

• Click on Start, then click on Control Panel, in Control Panel look for Add Remove Programs.
• In Add or Remove Programs it will be Alphabetically arranged look for The Sims or Sims2 and you should see the other Expansions underneath it , on the right side of The Sims2 and its Expansions you will see a button that will say change / remove.
• Click on Change/Remove this will prompt you if you are sure you want to uninstall this program.
• Just click on YES since we are uninstalling the program The Sims2.
• Do the same for the Expansions of The Sims2 to uninstall them.

If the Sims2 and its Expansions are not located anywhere in the Add or Remove Programs then you will need to manually uninstall them one by one from the location where the folders of each is located C: or which ever location / folder you installed them.
In each folder of the Sims2 / Expansions you will need to click open each folder and look for the uninstall icon and double click on it to uninstall The Sims2 to the same for the Expansions of The Sims2 for uninstalaltion.
Win Vista / Win7:

• Click on Start, then click on Control Panel, in Control Panel look for Programs it will say uninstall programs under it click on uninstall programs this will open Programs and Features.
• In Programs and Features it will be Alphabetically arranged look for The Sims or Sims2 and you should see the other Expansions underneath it , on the right side of The Sims2 and its Expansions you will see a button that will say change / remove.
• Click on Change/Remove this will prompt you if you are sure you want to uninstall this program.
• Click on YES to Uninstall the Sims2 and do the same for the Sims2 Expansions program/game.

If the Sims2 and its Expansions are not located anywhere in the Add or Remove Programs then you will need to manually uninstall them one by one from the location where the folders of each is located C: or which ever location / folder you installed them.

I hope that this will be of help Uninstalling The Sims2 and it's Expansions game from your computer.

Very sorry, but you can't. You HAVE to have The Sims 2. After installing that one, you can install other versions like yours. If you need other help, just search me up.
Grtz!

whats the error message?

Try uninstalling the orignal and expansion pack. If you have any other expansion packs uninstall them aswell. Install it all from scratch. If the problem doesnt subside, check your System Requirements, it may be that your computer doesnt support the data from Sims2.

If it doesn't recognise it there probably is a scratch or something like that on it, or you have disk emulator softwarelike Daemon Tools running, which causes games to block. Try closing the emulator software. If you don't have any running, you could try using a crack for the game. A crack is a copy of the game launcher that does not look for the CD when it starts. GO to one of tese sites: gf.wiretarget.com www.gamecopyworld.com and download a "fixed exe" for your version of the game. It is advisable to update your game to the latest version, and then download the late version crack. To open the file the crack is in, you will need a program called 7zip. jJust google it and download it, it's free and perfectly safe. Once you have the crack, overwrite the file of the same name in your Sims folder, and the game should run properly from now. I hope this helps, Yannick.

I am installing Sims2, and have done the main dvd disk, then University (no problems), however when I got to Night Life I got this error message; A problem occurred when trying to transfer the file 'E/TSBin/TS2UPD.exe from the media. It had a retry option but the same message would pop up.
Any help? Thanks

Oh you can only have Sims2 Deluxe, Sims2 double deluxe or Plain Sims2 so you must uninstall one of them.

You need to start the latest version the older one won't start the game. In this case you need to start the game with the Sims2 Kitchen and Bath SP starter file.

so i instal

remove the game , run regedit, find sims2 delete entries like data , values and after re install the game. chk for virus
