Hi eliza981,


The first thing I thought of when I read your post here, is, are you an administrator on the PC you are on right now?

Because it sounds to me like:  1) your download became corrupt due to it either not downloading fully and successfully and 2) you're having difficulty with moving and installing the game due to write-error issues caused by a user not being an administrator.

Administrators have full access to all computer files, folders, etc.  The \Program Files (x86)\ directory is pretty fundamental, so I'd definitely look into alleviating this issue before even trying to install or download TS4!

If you need help with this, we will need to know some computer specs as well as what operating system you are running on.  Smile

Thanks for your patience!
