I've been trying to install The sims on the Windows NT system at my school and it's giving me this message

"Setup has detected that unInstallShield is in use. Please close unInstallShield and restart setup.
Error 432."

I was wondering if anyone knows how to deal with this or am I out of luck?

I know the SIMS runs on Win2K great, as far as NT 4.0, never tried, it does require DirectX 6.0 or higher, just a thought.
