Are you not installing it off of the original game disk?

Don't pay attention to the path the error gives you, the path is actually a path within an archive file so searching the DVD For the file will not yield any results. How far along does the installation go before this error pops up? Right away? After a while? Sounds like a scratched disk or something similar - check the Sims 3 Tech Support forums (http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/forums/show/10.page)

Seems like you're computer is doing you a favor....All joking aside; In all honesty, it sounds like you're using a cracked version - if that's the case then you're SOL because you won't get any help on these forums for something like this.
