I used the current installer from http://play.freeso.net/ and it said everything went fine, but, I get this error when attempting to launch:

Can a dev confirm this is a proper way to fix this error?
I read somewhere else the game wasn't made for Win xp.

EDIT: I tried changing to Windows XP compatibility mode and I still get the error.
 
[quote = "Howdy_Simmer, post: 24144, membro: 3174"] Eu tenho que trabalhar! Você só precisa mudar seu modo de compatibilidade para o Windows XP (Service Pack 2)-benzóico. [attach = full] 2146 [/ attach] [attach = full] 2147 [/ attach] [/ quote]

Eu fiz isso eo lançador ficou em branco e não começou

Don't run the installation from a protected directory, make sure it's run from downloads or desktop. Make sure to run it as administrator.

FreeSO isn't supported on Windows XP.

If you are NOT on Windows XP and are still experiencing this error after trying the above steps, please post more about your system.
 
Okay. Originally, I had saved the installer in my main directory.
But, just now, I re-installed (minus The Sims Online) while having the installer ran as admin and on the desktop and got the same error.
Do I need to re-install The Sims Online as well?
I have Windows 7 64-bit, 16 GB of Ram, and a GTX 760. The previous several builds worked perfectly for me.

Sorry for the late response!
Why does this happen?
The Sims Online is installed using 1114 cab files that are about a MB large. This means that certain important files to FreeSO are literally split and on multiple different cab files. The installer has to put all these files back together again. When you start an installation, the first few files it puts in the installation directory are split files. The reason why this exception happens is because one of those first few files was not completely extracted, meaning that there is missing information that FreeSO needs. This can happen because you start a TSO installation then immediately cancel it, or maybe the installer crashed towards the beginning of the installation. Either way, it's TSO files causing this, not FreeSO files.
How can I fix it?
Easy! You need to completely reinstall TSO using the installer (about 10 min. on faster speed internet). Once TSO is complete and it asks you to reinstall FreeSO, skip the FreeSO installation and move straight on to packingslips and OpenAL! (if you don't already have openal installed)

Please let me know if you need further assistance.
 
Okay, the game runs now. I get a login screen. Thanks, Jdrocks!

Is this normal behavior now?

That was for open beta, but due to the overwhelming popularity, the servers crashed and they were forced to postpone and rethink how to go about the next phase.
 
Yeah, I know, I was just making sure that coming to a login screen was the intended behavior.

I got it now! Thanks everyone.

I don't get what you are saying I don't understand. So right now I am uninstall everything and I am going to re-install and see if this works but if this doesn't then can someone make a youtube video on how to download this for windows 10 or later because I am so confused!
 
I just wanted to add that I think the installer should tell you to be sure to unzip or unrar the files to the desktop and install from there.
I just ran into this issue again for the latest build.
