Hello,
One funny but efficient solution for this problem that caused us some trouble: Why would you submit to your computer's will ? When the popup that says "The update process did not complete successfully. Installation will now terminate" appears, DO NOT PRESS "OK". Press Ctrl-Alt-Del, then click on task manager and end the task of the installation. Tadaaa, the computer won't have the time to do its mischief and you can enjoy your fully installed addon :-)
(I don't know if it is needed but I add the administrator right as compatibility option).
Enjoy!
Hasn’t seemed to work with me ): gutted as I only just bought the disc. I’m using the same computer I’ve always used for sims 2, with windows 7 too!
@Shn00zle , please start a new post and describe exactly what is happening and what steps you have tried.
So I put the Sims 2 Apartment life disc in as normal, typed in the code, and it started installing. Once it had finished loading, I got the the message “this product will now ensure your existing installation is up to date”.
I pressed okay, then got the following message “The update process did not complete successfully. Installation will now terminate”.It then proceeds to uninstall, and that’s it. The icon appears on my Home Screen as if it has installed, but when you go on Sims 2 as normal it’s not on there. ):
I’ve tried anything I’ve seen on other forums, apart from uninstalling everything and re installing because I’ve heard that might not work, and I don’t want to lose my progress.
Could the fact I’m using a used disc be the problem at all?Any help is very much appreciated (:
