[maybememaybeyou]

Can anyone tell me how to fix this, I don't want to download 38 gigs again.

I try the wmware but I didn't fix anything

Download and place (override the existing files) the following two files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 3\__Installer\vc\vc2008sp1\redist

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

http://www.microsoft.com/en-ie/download/details.aspx?id=14632

Then go back into your Origin client and start the installation of Battlefield 3 again.
