"access denied" when installing The Sims 2 (or first)

When someone was installing The Sims 2, (or the first version) on their PC, I saw "access denied" appear when the installer was doing it's job, during the file copying process.

But, I didn't even touch the account settings!

Is the installer known to be broken. Did Electronic Arts F-up?

1. Try deleting the files in c:\documents and settings\%username%\local settings\temp and c:\windows\temp if that folder exists.

If there is a read only file in the temporary folder, it could make the installer fail to install.

2. Make sure you have administrator rights

3. Install using Add/Remove programs.
