I had the same problem and found a fix. This trick will fix the "Can't find BodyShop.exe" and/or the setup setting error in the software. The error occurred when a user selected a wrong folder path after starting the software. You can't just uninstall. Follow these steps to reset to default.
1. Un-installed the software
2. Re-installed the software, but this time rename the installation default folder to something else. This allow the setting to reset. (So instead of BodyShop Mechanic folder, change to BodyShop Mechanic2 or whatever).
3. Start software.
3. Select the right folder path. "C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES" This will list all your installed games.
4. If you see a list of all your expansion packs, your on the right path. Select an expansion pack
5. Click Run bodyshop. (keep trying different expansion pack if the body shop does not load.)
**keep in mind this software only allow you to load one pose at a time. You need to close bodyshop every times you load a new pose. The advantage of this software is that it'll list all you poses, and allow background changes. It's does not make poses. You need to download additional poses online and then added it to C:\Users\whatever user name you've created on installing window\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Config. The same goes for lighting. you need to add the poses, lighting in order to see more in the drop box.
You can also create your own poses but that's more complicated. Just search for tutorial online.
