Body Shop will not open at all. #1

I just received my copy of the Sims 2 Double Deluxe Edition yesterday.
After installing it the first time, the actual game worked fine. I didn't save anything.
I closed out of the actual game and noticed there wasn't a shortcut for Body Shop on my desktop so I went through the start menu to find it. I clicked on it and it just wouldn't open. I even left my computer on overnight to give it time to do so.
I've gone through the FAQ/Walkthrough for solving this problem numerous times, however, being as I hadn't saved or even actually played the game other than just seeing if it loads, none of the specified files to delete were in any of my folders; thus making the FAQ useless to me. I am posting to see if any of you could help me fix this issue.
I've included screenshots to show what I mean better.

After uninstalling and reinstalling the game numerous times only to have the same issue, I looked through each of the folders under
C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 2 Double Deluxe\
, and tested each of the TS2BodyShop.exes there were in the CSBin subfolders .

Folders 'Base', 'EP2', and 'SP4' have both the PackageInstaller.exe and TS2BodyShop.exe, however, only the PackageInstaller seems to work in any of the folders, including 'EP99'.

When I clicked on C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Double Deluxe\Base\CSBin\TS2BodyShop.exe, I received this error right away.
With the others, I didn't get anything at all; the program simply didn't run.

I hope I have been thorough enough to give you all some incite as to what is causing Body Shop not to work for me and that you all can help me find a solution.

You'll have to use the Bodyshop file for your latest EP; however if that's supposedly "EP99", then I'm afraid I've no idea what's going on there. :/
