All you can do is install the correct VC Runtime packages for your OS, if you are having problems doing that, perhaps somone a bit more skilled with computers can do it for you. The instructions given are how it's done.

If you are reciving an error when following them, we need to know what that error is in order to help you fix it.

    I have installed the correct VC Runtime packages (first thing I tried before I made this thread). The VC runtime package install is successful but the error when I try to install the Sims still persists. As a consequence I am unsure how to proceed.
