    so the sims3launcher.exe file in my C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin folder was named "sims3launcher.ex_" i changed the _ to an E and that did the trick, the game is now updating.

    Operating system: windows 7 64bit

    I got the serial and after uninstalling and reinstalling several times via origin i am able to use Sims3 with no expansions, i tried to install the expansions but it wants me to use the launcher to update before it will allow me. The launcher gives me a "not a valid win32 application" error

    when i try to launch through origin, i get nothing...looks like it will launch but never does.
