sims4 cannot launch after update

★★★★★ Newbie

Origin installed the update tonight and when it was done I hit play and received the following errors through Origin:

 

1) "ActivationUI.exe - System Error

    The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP100.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

2) "ActivationUI.exe - System Error

    The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCR100.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

 

And this one when I try to open it through the Sims 4 shortcut:

 

1) "TS4.exe - System Error

    The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP100.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

2) "TS4.exe - System Error

    The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCR100.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

 

Any ideas what may be causing this issue and/or how I can fix it? 

Thank you!

Sounds like an issue with the Visual C++ Redistributables.

Try deleting your Origin Cache files: http://crinrict.com/blog/2014/09/delete-origin-cache-files.html
