I've done that, still doesn't work.  I downloaded and installed the VC++ 2017 : x64 vc_redist.x64.exe

I still get the error.

    Tried, that ends up linking you to the previous 2017 file (vc_redst.x64.exe)

    This is the most frustrating think I have ever tried to install.

      They may be named the same but sizes should be different.

      Edit:

      Just checked they are not named the same (but close).

      VC_redist.x64  = 2017

      VCredist_x64  = 2013

        You were right about the file being different.  However I installed the 2013 version, restarted computer, again tried to Install TheSims4 and same VC++ error.

        Are you actually running it with Windows 10?  I'm convinced it will not work.
