Re: Game won't launch MSVCP100.dll is missing. EA support no help!!

Did 'all of the above' - having spent most of the day with EA's unhelpful 'Help' - I was desperate. Your links worked, I now have Sims 4 back.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Tried this and I still get the same error.

Did you also try uninstalling the VC++ redists or did you install over the existing ones ?

My DUDE!!  I downloaded the 64 and 86 from the second two links in your post, and replaced them both in the folder of the game giving me issues (Need For Speed 2016).  I had been working on fixes for DAYS, and had been researching for a fix.  Don't normally post in forums ever, but this worked for me, so i just wanted to say thanks!

Bro, i think you are a superhero thanks a lot for all the help.. it seems that people are stupid and say all the same useless things in other sites discussions

i tired that and still didnt work. when i lauch sims 4 is showing MSVCP100.dll is missing 

can u send me the files? microsoft deleted them, having issues with nfs 2015(16) deluxe edition. 

@Flyingsgetti  MSVCP100.dll is part of the VC++ 2010 runtimes, which you can still download from Microsoft:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26999

If the number in the .dll you're seeing is slightly different (MSVCP120 or 140), you'll need a different VC++ runtime.  Google the error to find the exact one, then find the official Microsoft download link.  A third-party site might instead offer you additional downloads you didn't want.

Now after adding admin privileges I'm not even getting the error, it just isn't launching. Starts for a second and then stops.
