Title: Problem installing OfB Post by: Aggie on 2006 November 02, 05:00:03 I'm having a bit of a problem installing OfB on my computer. It seems to be going fine until it hits the 94% mark, and then I get the following message:
'A problem occurred when trying to transfer the file 'C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The SIms 2 Open For Business/Support/config.xml' from the media. Do you want to retry to copy the file, or cancel the installation?' I've already removed my Downloads and Saved Sims folders. Could anyone give me some insight as to what exactly I could be doing wrong here? Could I have altered a game file that shouldn't have been tampered with by mistake?

Try manually copying the contents to a temp directory on your HD and installing from there. If the copying process borks, your CD is probably toast. You will have to acquire another one somewhere.

The problem I'm having now is similar but earlier. I've compared what the Nightlife and Uni area of the C:/Program Files/EA Games... folders look like and I've manually moved all of the files into the correct areas, but now that I've done that, I get the error message immediately. ???
Thanks for the input, J.M. ETA: Would simply deleting that file cause irreparable harm to my game, do you think? ETA2: Well, I went ahead and removed the file. I figured it wouldn't hurt since it was in the Support folder and shouldn't alter Gameplay in any way. This seems to have fixed the problem. I can play it just fine now. :) |
