sims 4 wont install
Whenever I attempt to install the sims 4 it will go through with the installation but then it shows "Error: The VC ++ runtime redistributable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot con...
@lernylS That error is usually related to missing or corrupted copies of the 2010 VC++ runtimes. It's best to uninstall your current copies, both x86 and x64, if you have them, and download new ones from Microsoft.
Hit Windows key-i, select Apps, and scroll down to the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributables. (Leave the copies from the other years alone.) Click on each 2010 version and select Uninstall. You can download new ones here:
x86: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8328
x64: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13523
Even if you have a 64-bit OS, you still need both copies. Once you've installed them, restart your computre, and try to install Sims 4 again.
