There are tools such as CCleaner that can help with cleaning up remains of abandoned installations or stuff like that. The problem with these tools though is, that they have a tendency to "delete too much". So if you don't know what you're doing, you might run into trouble.

Then there is another alternative. You can press Windows key + R, type regedit, and hit enter. Search (CTRL + F) for entries specifically for "Sims2Pack cleaner installer", and take it from there. If the system finds entries, right-click on them and choose "delete". I would recommend backing up your entire registry though, before you attempt doing that. Right-click on "Computer" and choose Export.




If something goes wrong, simply double-click on the backup-file (in .reg format), re-boot the computer, and you should be fine. Look very carefully at the registry entry as to what it says, before you delete it.

The path with using CCleaner is probably more user-friendly, but in a way it's also riskier. But once you managed to clean the registry, try installing again the newer version of that thing.
