VS (2008) runtime redistributable error code for SimCity(2013) game download.

Hello I am unable to download SimCity (2013) after purchasing it yesterday. Each time i try to download the game I get stopped at 79% and get a VC++ runtime redistributable error code (4101). The setup wizard for downloading VS 2008 VC++ crashes each time i believe since it is no longer supported on newer Microsoft devices. I believe the game needs this to run or download properly but i cannot find a way around it. I am very frustrated because I just spent around $25 for the game and cannot download and play it.

    As I have found out on VSCode site that VC++ runtime error comes from the fact the 2008 version is no longer supported? I can’t download simcity 2013 because of this error but I have no idea how to bypass this. I just bought the game from EA site but I cannot play it. All help is greatly appreciated.
