Unable to download/install The Sims Legacy & The Sims 2 Legacy

Purchased 25th anniversary bundle, and when trying to install The Sims Legacy & The Sims 2 Legacy games, I am receiving an error message (shown in screenshot):

"Error: The VC++ runtime redistributable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue. (1618)"

Hitting OK will trigger the installation to restart and eventually just loops back to this same error message.

  • I'm having this exact same issue. All the files are showing as installed on my C drive but I can't actually run them because the installation didn't complete the last few percent; it came up with this error message.
