Windows 10: Sims 2 Double Deluxe Download Issue

Hi There! I was trying to install the sims 2 double deluxe disc i have, but whenever I do i get a pop up that reads “ administration blocked you from installing this app." I am the administrator on this computer, and the only user, and even when I tried to run it as the administrator it wouldn't let me. I tried following this guide here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/sims-2-double-deluxe/7265833a-2833-4fc0-8abe-1fe2934967d5 , but when I got to the window it said that on my version of windows 10, users are located under the control panel. How can I fix the issue from there?


Thanks!

:)

Sims 2 Windows 10: how to download expansion pack with cd version

I have recently bought the Sims 2 Double Deluxe, University, and Ikea Home Stuff from a thrift store. I have downloaded the Sims 2 DD, but I would like to know the process of installation for the expansion packs and if it just downloads the files onto the
Sims 2 DD's files. They are all the cd version of the game, not the online version.

Laptop specs:

Intel(R) Graphics 4000

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3340M CPU @ 2.70 GHz (4 CPUs)

HP EliteBook 8570p
