Sims 2 Help with Copying to another OS.

[Guided]

Hello. Anyways, I did some searching around and could not find anything to do with this, so I was hoping you all could help me. So I re-installed windows and JUST moved to my new house so all my games and such are back 4 states away. So I copied all of the folders and such into a folder and then put them back into the folder they were in: c:\program files\EA Games\Insert Stuff Here.

So I go to play it and it says that: "The Sims 2 has not been installed."

After some thinking, I thought it would be the registry files since I do not have them anymore and I forgot to get them from the older OS. I was hoping that someone might be able to help me figure out what is going on here.

Thanks,

Brandon
