So my fiance purchased and downloaded a copy of The Sims 3 from Direct2Drive. She tried to install it but got the error message "Could not verify the integrity of the installer", after which the installer quits. I did some digging in the package and found tginstall.plist. Inside is an array which says InstallVerify, followed by a string which checks the MD5 Checksum of a file in the Install directory, INSTALLDATA.tgz. Thinking that perhaps the checksum had been corrupted in transit, I went to terminal and ran MD5 INSTALLDATA.tgz, and was returned the exact same checksum that is already listed in tginstall.plist. So if the checksum matches, and I can find no other references to anything else the installer is checking, what could possibly be the problem?
By the way, simply deleting the entry in the plist does not cause the installer to skip the verification, it just crashes.
