That seems to be a common problem. Instead of installing from the CDs, do a manual install.

Follow this link to directions for a manual install (I would've copied and pasted them here, but it didn't look right):

Before you start the install, delete all files that have already been installed in your autorun attempts. Sometimes these files can mess up any other attempt to install the game. Look in Program Files > EA Games > The Sims 2 (just delete the Sims 2 folder and all it's contents).
