Assertion Failed

Very rarely, you might encounter a Visual C++ runtime error when installing one of our apps (or ANY app).

The cause is that your Visual C++ libraries have corrupted in some way.  It can happen very easily - many apps and games install these if they believe the libraries to be missing.

Quick fix - try this first

  1. Go to Microsoft and download BOTH of the following versions of the Visual C++ redistributables:
    1. x86
    2. x64
  2. Install both - selecting REPAIR if given that option, or INSTALL
  3. Try your app 

Thorough fix

If the quick fix didn't work, then try this instead:

  1. Uninstall the app giving the error
  2. Important!  Delete the folder contain the app's executable file (the .exe file)  This will typically be:
    1. Workshop: C:\Program Files\The Sims Resource\TSR Workshop\
    2. CC Manager: C:\Users\[your Windows username]\AppData\Local\Programs\tsr-manager\
  3. Go to Microsoft and download BOTH of the following versions of the Visual C++ redistributables:
    1. x86
    2. x64
  4. Install both - selecting REPAIR if given that option, or INSTALL
  5. Now reinstall the app - it should now work.
