"Cannot execute" Error When Installing. [SOLVED]
I am using Windows 10 Home. 64bit OS, 8GB RAM, 2.7GHz Intel, and ~30GB memory free.
I downloaded The Sims 3 Complete Collection.rar into a folder in C drive (not Program Files, but another folder I created for my games)
I opened it up using Winrar.
Everything seems to be there.
I go straight to the folder called The Sims 3.
I double-click Sims3Setup.exe.
It begins to install.
20 minutes later, it gets to 99%.
Then I get the following error: Cannot execute
**UPDATE**
I moved the whole thing over to Program Files (x86) just in case, but same error.

Re: "Cannot execute" Error When Installing. [SOLVED]
Hello and welcome to the Forum,
One thing you can try is go under
C:\Users\(your Windows account username)\AppData\Local\Temp. Delete ALL items inside the Temp folder, but not the actual folder itself.
You also need to mark the option that un-hides hidden folders here:
After that, try un-packing with WinRAR again.
Also, it's an idea to remove files or uninstall programs that you do not want or need anymore, from your C:\ drive.

That worked! Thank you! But now I am having a slew of other issues. I made another post for those.
