I think there may be a troubleshooting folder on one of the install discs.
Tat may help to uninstall all the rogue files it leaves when you are unsuccessful with an install first time round.
HAve you checked on the sims website? there is usually a large section for queries and lots of others will have had similar problems.
EA games are the makers try here http://thesims2.ea.com/help/index.php?pid=Help.

My kids have it on there two computers had no issues but I installed it when each game came out. Sometime the sims 2 gets updated with the extra data pack that comes out.

I also have this problem trying to install it onto my laptop, which runs on Vista. Works fine on older op systems.
