Does the problem occur when you click on the Install button on the initial window, or when you click on the Install button on the "Installing packages" window?
If the problem occurs after the first window, then the
Clean Installer may be having problems accessing your registry. If you are running as an administrator and the problem still occurs, then I would recommend that you set the SaveGamePath in the S2PCI.ini file. Point to your Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 folder and be sure to enclose the full path in quotes, for example:
SaveGamePath="C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2"
If the problem occurs after the second window is displayed, could you please check the default installation path and ensure that it is correct? You could also attach a screenshot, so that we can look at it to see whether something is wrong. In this case, the
Clean Installer may be trying to access the wrong folder. Note that I am assuming that you are not unchecking "Default installation" and specifying your own path.
