Same thing happened to me recently. I solved it by deleting the BAT install file I had just tried; then I rebooted the computer; downloaded the BAT install file a second time; ran it, and then it worked. I don't know why, but starting fresh seemed to take care of it.

Do you possibly have SC4 installed in a non-standard place?

Maybe.  The installer may be looking for the SC4 folder in your C:\Program Files\Maxis\Simcity 4 directory.  If it's not installed there, it may not be able to find it.

No, actually, I don't.  I just checked and the installer doesn't ask where your game's installed, it apparently assumes it's on the C drive. &mmm

I have both gMax and SC4 installed on a non-default path, but both at the same drive. So gMax and SC4 must be at the same drive, I pursue...
