The Sims 4 VC++ runtime error (1612)

Hi @pimenator

Did you do all the steps listed here: https://help.ea.com/en-au/help/origin/origin/your-vc-runtime-package-has-not-installed-correctly-error-troubleshooting/ ?

Yes i did. Still nothing has worked.

The game is not installed correctly yet right ? There's no repair game you could try ?

Did you install both 32 bit and 64 bit redists ?

How do you mean a repair game? And no the game is not installed yet. In origin i can press on the install button for the sims 4, but after a few seconds it gives the error stated above. And yes i installed/repaired both 32 and 64 bit versions.

This worked, thankyou, i never looked in the vc2010 folder. 

Glad to hear. 

Enjoy the game.

I was downloading my Sims 4 game and then I had to install it, but when I clicked install, origin said " The vc++ runtime redistributable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue. (1612)" and then it says "An unexpected error has occurred. Error 327684:1" So I tried deleting and redownloading all the vc++ things in the Installer file of sims 4 (both 2013 and 2010), clean booting my system, checking for updates, restarting my computer like a million times and basically everything on the internet. Then I found a forum that suggested to look at the installer log and see where the mistake was. This is mine:

 As you can see it says Installation registry missing. Game not yet installed. Is that the problem? How do I fix it?

I cant even find the files for origin to manually install the vc++. They were there, i tried it and it didn't work so I uninstalled origin and reinstalled it and now it literally has no files.

I have done literally everything on all the forums i have read and im so frustrated. not to mention i cant even find a forum where someone is talking about their origin files disappearing.
