    Uni install "problem occured"

    hey ive been gaming the sims and sims 2 since way back and ive been trying to install Sims2Uni and it always does the same thing. the install gets to 68% and then a popup says "A problem occured when trying to transfer the file D:\TSBin\TS2UPD.exe from the media. Do you want to retry to copy the file or cancel the installation?" any suggestions?
    PS. if i continually hit retry it continues on to 100% but never gets further than that

    First before installing any of the EPs. make sure to transfer out your downloads folder to your desktop so you do not lose this during instillation of any EP.

    Make sure all hacks and careers have been removed form the game as well for these can cause problems with instillation. After installing any EP make sure all hacks and careers are compatible with the new EP or they will cause many problems with the game.

    Make sure the disk are clean and free of scratches.

    If the error is occurring when it says it is patching the game, you can bypass the patching process by installing the latest patch before installing the EP. This will cause the updater to simply skip the process and finish installing the game.

    If you still have problems installing the EP you may try to manually install it. This is how to do it.

    Make sure to follow the steps below exactly as they read, or else the install may not work.
    1. Double-click My Computer.
    2. Right-click on the Local Disk C and choose Open.
    3. Right-click inside the window and select New, and then Folder.
    4. Name the folder Disk Images it is important that the name has a space in it.
    5. Double-Click the new Disk Images folder to open it.
    6. Right-click inside the window and select New, and then Folder.
    7. Name this folder Disk1.
    8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 while substituting Disk1 for Disk2. It is important to note there must not be a space between "Disk" and the number.
    9. Insert Disk 1 of The Sims 2 University into your CD-ROM drive and if the autoplay starts, cancel it.
    10. Double-click My Computer to open it.
    11. Right-click on your CD-ROM drive and choose Open.
    12. When you see the contents of the disk in the Window, click on Edit at the top of the window and choose Select All.
    13. All the contents of the disk should now be highlighted, click on Edit at the top of the window again and choose Copy.
    14. Open the Disk1 folder you created under C:\Disk Images; click on Edit at the top of the window and choose Paste. This will copy the contents of the CD into the Disk1 folder.
    15. Repeat steps 9 through 14 for Disk 2 until you have copied each disk into its appropriate folder.
    16. Once the disks have been copied, remove ALL CDs from any drives. Open the Disk1 folder under Disk Images and double-click on autorun.exe to start the installation.
    17. To save disk space, you can delete the Disk Images folders after the installation has completed.
    If you receive an error whilst copying the files this means the disk is either damaged or defective.
