Ugh same issue for me. Asking for disk 0 data3.cab. I am trying to download Origin now to see if that fixes. Using windows 8 this is for the Sims 3 Island expansion pack.

Also when I cancel it then says setup.exe has stopped working.

UPDATE*****

After downloading Origin my game doesn't show up because the code (since I bought it in store) is only for in game features not the full download.

 

UPDATE******

Ok chatted with them and was told that if you go to your game (Sims 3) there is an (i) icon you click that and all of your registered expansion packs will show up. I am downloading now and will update again if I have a problem.
