The Sims Complete Collection Help ! Can't Install !! Hi everyone Here's the issue ..

I bought The Sims Complete Collection today. Excited~I went home to install it on my new notebook < running Windows Vista Home Premium, 2 gig Intel duo processor, 160gig HD- partitioned, 1 gig ram ... bla bla > inserted the CD, got to the install wizard and clicked next. Then I got this message - Sorry there is not enough disk space on . 3600mb required and only 0mb free. Huh ?



K so I've been reading and here there are problems of all kinds with this game. The steps I have taken to try to resolve the issue < as per advice of EA.com and the help file on my Sims disk > are as follows:



-I have tried running the set up in Windows Xp compatibility mode - same error,


-I tried in a new user account on Vista - same error,


-the XP compatibility mode in new acct - same error.


-I have tried to run as admin from the set up in the cd folder and I get the same error.



So really I just don't know why I would get an error like that. I've played alot of sims on all kinds of systems and have had many issues, but not enough space on a new machine?



Also, what's with the . in the error message? The wizard had not even asked me which drive or what location I wanted to install, but rather tells me I don't have enough space ON . ??? Whaa ?



Any help would be appreciated. I would really like to start playing



Thanks Mars
