yeah that is the last one that'll work on XP as win XP is no longer supported since about march or april of this year but firefox should and will work
so try just use firefox as your browser
if the game launches and you get something about a script error do you still want to run hitting yes or no won't matter as that is more or less to do with the store ads on the launcher
i use firefox more than i do IE so use firefox to try download from the store if you get a message need to associate a program with the download when you first try with firefox see image 1 for what you may see click on the choose and image 2 what to look for to tell firefox how/what to use as an example
Thanks for your ScreenShots rumbutter.
I didn't realise that 'Choose' is possible under Firefox Options.
However, the 'Error' box message is continues to pop up first-up.

On the sims3 page with screenshots of 'Last Venue of Amore',
Under the button: 'Download', there's:
a Green Square (star - "Item has Additional Gameplay')
an Orange Square (tick5 - "You own this item")
I've been trying to download it all the time from my Sims 3 Store:
Purchase History, which has worked before for a previous reinstall.
the extra gameplay would be using the gondala
hmmm see the log for details try this the log can be found in documents/electronicarts/thesims3 and is called Sims3LauncherLogFile.log c/p what it says for someone to look at

p.s. I just (successfully) downloaded Lucky Palms and Hidden Springs
They both installed and are ready to play -
Amore is playable InWorld and does not download.
I just purchased Fowl and Feathers Chicken Coop.
Again, it registers as purchased.
The Sim Points have been deducted from my account.
It does not down load either.
Venues are not downloading.
Here's the log file for "Fowl and Feathers ..."

This error usually occurs if your game is not up-to-date
What version does your launcher show ? If it isn't 1.67, you should update your game (no, I did not read the whole discussion you had with Rum)
