Howdy!!
I just had to share how I managed this to FIX this "Administrator blocked" issue.
To preface, I bought the entire sims 2 collection in disc form via CEX last week. I got to freetime before I experienced this issue. I have been up all night downloading the games so this was annoying to say the least and I tried everything the internet suggested.
But
The answer was right in front of me this whole time:
- Open your task manager,
- Click the "More details" tab on the bottom of the window,
- Click file,
- Run new task,
- Type in E:\AutoRun.exe and MAKE SURE to SELECT the "Run with administrator privileges" option.
I did this and the game began installing!
I hope this helps :)
