@Leopardka If the Autorun just won't start, make sure you don't have any potential Sims 2 installation references already on your PC.
To run the installer using Command Prompt, open it as Administrator (search for cmd in the Start Menu, right-click on it and Run as Administrator). It should say C:\WINDOWS\system32>.
Find out which drive the game disk is in (D:, E:, etc.), then switch to it in cmd. For example, if the game disk is in D:, just type in D: (so it says C:\WINDOWS\system32>D:) and press enter.
After it switches, type in Autorun.exe and press Enter, then see if the installer opens.
You are the BEST!!!!!! Nothing would work. I’m so glad I came across your comment!!!
