bump
really loved this solved.
I tried a method but failed. What i did is download the game launcher then use files of install of dvd to overwrite some of it. so i overwrite everything but EAwebkit.dll the launcher fires up i see a black splash screen and dissapears. If i overwrite the EAwebkitt.dll the launcher appears but it says i dont have the right cd code and need to put that one in origin.
i still dont understand why the launcher wont start if you use download but if you install through dvd it will launch but then i dont have the right cd key.

I can't even open autorun or setup in the cd, the computer just ignores and continues to work normally... I paid 60€ and never seen nothing like this, I am sure this is the last time I will buy a game from EA.

Delete the contents of Origin->SimCity->SimCityUserData->WebStorage and try again - this solved it for me

For me turning off origin overlay fixed the problem. But then I can't chat with my friends in the game.
Edit:
I found what was the source of the problem for me. If I use MSI afterburner and its overplay with Origins overlay then SimCity doesn't start, only starts in tasks not as an aplication. But If I start SimCity first and then MSI afterburner it all works.
