Sims Installer problem

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims-2 (More info?)

Hi all

previously I could double click on a package file on this computer and it
would install but now when I try to double click on a package file the sims2
content installer says that I need to double click on a package file to
install the content.
I don't understand why it would ssay this now after being able to install
before.
This problem sends me into an endless loop where I cannot install anything.
Do I need to reinstall some sim2 content installer file?
if so, where do I find it?
thank you
