sims3
I have the Sim3 and a bunch of expansion packs on Origin, I also have Sims3 on Steam, when I install from steam, it works perfect, but I don't have my expansion packs there, so I've been trying to run my Origin version... Everything has downloaded, all the packs, etc.. it sits on the install screen saying it's ready to go, but when it trys to install and gets to the directX section of the install, it says 'DirectX Setup Error: An internal error occurred.' I don't have any issues with DirectX for anything else at all, all other games working, including the Sims3 when played from any other launcher... it's only when done via origin that I can't install the game... How do I correct this issue otherwise I've just wasted a lot of money of expansion packs
Please clear your temp files:
- Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time
- Into the new window, type or copy & paste: "%temp%" (Without the quotes.) > hit "ENTER"
- Now your Windows Explorer should have brought you to the "C:\Users\>your user name<\AppData\Local\Temp" folder. > Delete all files and folders in it.
(If some files or folders can't be deleted, reboot and try again.) - reboot > Test.
If that don't works:
- Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
- Type or copy and paste "sysdm.cpl" (without quotes) into the new window > hit ENTER
- Open the "Advanced" tab. > click on "Environment Variables"
- Change the value of "TEMP" and "TMP" to "C:\Temp" (Without the quotes.) > Click OK
- Reboot > Test.
