Some needed files were corrupted during installation. Please reinstall this app

FourCats:
I just played the game yesterday.  And it was fine, now today I'm getting this error message when I'm trying to load bon Voyage.  I am running the "unholy hybrid"  Do I need to reinstall or is there another fix?   And if I have to reinstall, do I have to reinstall everything or just bon voyage?   I tried restarting my computer.  I tried deleting the accessories.cash and the groups.cash, but I keep getting that same error message.

Any advice?

Does it indicate which files are missing/corrupted? (Probably too much to ask.)

You may want to uninstall BV and reinstall without the patch - unholy hybrid may be the problem as your no-cd crack was not made for the patch.

FourCats:
no. It doesn't say which files.

But I'll try that uninstall, reinstall idea.  I see I can just uninstall bon voyage, without uninstalling everything.

So I saved my sims2 file to my desktop, and uninstalled just bon voyage.   It's in the process of reinstalling.  Then I remove securom, and put in the the awesome non spawning hack and the no cd crack and I should be okay?


Edit:
Thanks for the advice.  I had been playing the unholy hybrid since the patch came out, but maybe that's too much for my game.

I see that the patch isn't recommended by this site anyway.

Theoretically (from my point of view).  Based on no empirical experience (I have never had to uninstall/reinstall yet), I would say that based on other accounts here and the way things are "supposed" to work, you should be fine following your approach.  Awesome hacks, as you mention, are always a good idea for critical issues, and you may want some others (ffslotdebugger is quite useful for clearing out memory garbage and fixing stuck things, for example).
