@frederique2124 , ok, it sounds like your computer isn't recognizing the disk for some reason. Try the following to see if these instructions will allow the game to install.
1) Insert your Sims 2 CD/DVD into your disk drive. Open up your local hard drive.
2) Go to File, New Folder. Create a new folder and name this folder "Disk Images."
3) Go into the "Disk Images" folder and create another folder called "Disk1." If you're installing a version of The Sims 2 or an Expansion pack/Stuff pack with multiple disks, create folders for each disk. Label them "Disk2," "Disk3" and "Disk4." *Note* It is important you do not put a space in between "Disk" and the number you use.
4) Open up "My Computer" and select your Sims 2 CD. If the autorun comes up, cancel it as well as the installation.
5) Right-click The Sims 2 CD. Click "Explore."
6) Click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window and choose "Select All." You can also press CTRL+A.
7) Click on the "Edit" tab again and select "Copy." CTRL+C also works.
8) Head into your "Disk1" folder. Go to the "Edit" tab and select "Paste." CTRL+V works as well. Continue until you've copied and pasted the information from all the disks into their appropriate folders.
9) Find the autorun file in the "Disk1" folder and double click it. This should install the game as normal. When you are finished, you can delete the "Disk Images" folder.
Tips
If you encounter any file transfer errors when copying and pasting, try cleaning your disk. If that fails, your disk is either scratched or corrupted.
Please keep me updated.
This helped me 👍 once I copied the files over to my EA Games folder I was able to launch the autorun.exe and the game finally launched the Install Wizard for Best of Business
