When I try to open Origin it says "The program can't start because MSVCP120.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I have a folder in the Sims 4 folder that is named this, but there's nothing in it. Help?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @Catlover44101,
I would recommend downloading and installing the below MS Visual C++ Redistributable Packages:
After this try running Origin again (just in case, make sure to run Origin as Admin).
Let us know how you get on.

Hey @paulea101 I'm locking this thread as it is quite old.
This issue is caused by running an out of date VC++ installation. It can be resolved by manually running the installer from the Origin installation folder - the default location for this folder is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin
From this folder, run one of both files:
If you get the message that the files are already installed, select Repair instead. It is recommended to run the installer as administrator (right-click the file, select run as admin).
You can also find the latest files on the Microsoft website:
