No, the installer simply sets up origin. There is no disk activity past the origin installer.
- Locate the game files on your system (by default they will be in c:\program files\Origin Games\SimCity or "c:\program files(x86)\Origin Games\SimCity" for 64bit). You can also look in the Origin HQ > Origin menu > Application settings ..
- Copy the contents of the zip file into there.
There are some locality DLLs in the root of the zip that don't need to be copied apart from the one for your language. Most likely it will have already picked up and installed the right one anyway from the registration in Origin.
Enjoy ~1.5Gb saved from your download limit and the time taken to download that much (~1 hours for me).
Patching up to the full game looked to be about ~150mb as of today (18th March).
Hi fello gamers I took your advice and copied zipped files to where you said and extracted them there, how do I now play it? There seems to be no exe file to press or anything... I am not comp savvy as you can tell but have no internet useage really so need from disk also how do you get the extra updates in there like all the patch files? cheers

1. Start your own thread.. lol. This one is ancient.
2. Tell us what stage of the install you are on. Have you installed before or just trying to install from disc the first time?
3. In the least, you'll need an internet connection to download the patches.
There are currently 10 of them, which include the expansion, all of the DLC and online/offline play.
That's insane you should just by the game online through origin then why even sell a hard copy in stores wow!!!!
