I can't get HD to install. (OS is WinXp) I have Deluxe Ed, and when I put the HD disk in the drive, nothing happens. Run command doesn't work either. When I manually start the "Setup.exe", it tells me it's having trouble closing Autoplay

A similar thing happened with me. I had Sims Deluxe and Hot Date already , which worked fine. The I bought House Party, uninstalled everything and reinstalled in the correct order. When the screen about updating your system after installing a new EP (Hot Date) popped up, I clicked OK. The status bar goes all the way to 100% and freezes. I wish I knew why, it's driving me mad!

I've had this problem too but i've fixed it =) Heres what to do:

Setup is having trouble shutting down the AUTOPLAY' error.

A: "This issue is caused by a background application interfering with the installation program. Make sure that all background tasks are closed before running the game."

OR you could manually install your game. Worked for me:

Right-click on the Desktop and choose New and then Folder.

Insert Disk 1 into the drive.

Exit any autoplay screen that may appear.

Open My Computer.

Right-click on the CD-rom drive containing Disk 1 and choose Open.
Click on Edit at the top of the window.

Click on Select All.

Click on Edit again.

Click on Copy.

Close the window.

Right-click on the New Folder on your desktop and choose Paste.

The game files will now copy.
Once the files from Disk 1 are copied, repeat steps 2-5 for Disk 2.

Open the Setup folder on the disk.
Hold the Ctrl (Control) key on your keyboard whilst clicking on Data3 and then Data4.
This should highlight both files.

Click on Edit.

Click on Copy.

Close the window.

Open the New Folder.

Right-click on the Setup folder and
choose Paste.

The Data files should now copy over.
When this is complete, remove all disks from any drives.

Open the Setup folder.

Double-click on the Setup icon that looks like a computer.

The installation should now begin.

GOOD LUCK!! Worked for me :D!
