Re: Sims 4 ts4.exe error and/or activationui.exe (0xc0000142)
Finally got Sims 4 running for my daughter again.
Reinstalled Windows 10 etc... on top of everything else and no joy. However, when trying to install Sims 4 again after this, it came up with an installation error:
The VC++ Runtime Redistributable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue (536870913)
Uninstalling and reinstalling all the VC++ files failed to achieve anything, but I found this post and followed the instructions.
It didn't work, but when I located the VC++ 2010 files in the Sims 4 installer folder and tried to run x86 from there, it said the file is corrupt, even after I then reinstalled VC++ again.
So I manually replaced the 10.0.40219.1 VC++ files in that folder with the fresh 10.0.40219.325 files already downloaded and installed.
Voila. It's finished installing and loaded.
