The Sims 4 VC++ runtime error (1612)

Hi, 

I recently bought origin access to play the sims 4. I downloaded all the files but now it says:

Error: The VC++ runtime redistributable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue. (1612)

I read multiple forums about this and i tried everything. I tried finding the KB2918614 file but it wasn't installed for me. I tried reinstalling origin and running it as administrator, that didn't work either. I also went to the game directory and installed the vc++ manually and repaired them but that still didn't work. Are there any other solutions? My pc is running on windows 10.

    I have this issue as well and I'm trying to fix it. I feel like the problem is the 2010 VC thingy but my computer won't let me repair or uninstall it since it can't find its location or something but it allowed me to repair the 2013 version. Please help me cause I wanna play really badly. My laptop was able to download his game without any problems, please help.

    I have this problem as well, it will not let me repair or uninstall the 2010 redist. Windows installer pops up and says the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable... it wants an vc_red.msi.
