    The installation haven't even started . I tried to run the installer in compatibility mode for windows xp but it didn't work. Anyway I found the solution online! The problem has been solved installing the program Windows XP Mode and running the installer (and then the game every time I want to play) using this mode. Beyond this, thank you to answered me.

I am having a problem is that I can't uninstall it, or re-install it, I get the same thing "unknown error...aborting installation" I was running it just fine in  with this PC which has windows 7 64 bit professional

The trouble began when I trying playing the game and it told me that I had installed an expansion after the complete collection and that it needed to update makin-magic. I've done some searches and I see it was trying to uninstall/reinstall it, only it didn't get that far, it couldn't- I got the unknown error.

    did anyone have a solution to this as it happened to me this morning 

    It worked fine then at 7% showed a component transfer error and i new this meant i just needed to clean it (CD is basically brand new no scratches)

    I did some research which suggested i should open in compatibility mode and since then it now shows the same error and closes the installation program

      @UCB21 , while I understand you are having problems installing Sims 2, please do not resurrect old threads that have been inactive for a year or so. This is against forum rules and I am going to have this thread locked. 

      If you do find an old thread that is describing your problem, it is ok to link to said thread for reference, but please start a new thread in the future. Quite often the information in older threads is out of date.

        I'm closing this thread to stop it being necroed.

        If you have any issues with Sims 4 please make a new topic about the issues you are having and what kind of steps you have tried to solve it.
