Can't Install Sims 3 from Disc on Windows 8

Trying to install Sims 3 from disc on Windows 8.  Does installing, then says configuring your new software installation, puts a shortcut on desktop and sits like this forever with no further action!  What should I do?  Any help would be gratefully received as have a daughter desperate to play!

Make sure that Antivirus and Firewall or other security software are not blocking the game from installing.
