The Sims 3 doesn't run (Application Error 0xc0000135)

Having problems getting your install of The Sims 3 to run? I couldn't find any help on their support page. If your local drive was installed as a different letter than C: , you may have luck running the application directly by double clicking the game executable instead of the launcher.

Found mine installed at:

I:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\TS3.exe

Make a shortcut while you're there
