BF4 Beta Installation Issue. (Direct X error) Cabinet file not properly signed!

[Tango_Golf_42]

Ive tried absolutely everything and still nothing, Im on Win 8 pro 64 bit with the lasted Direct X 11. I cannot install the Beta even after 4 hours with EA support. Someone have any idea on how to fix .CAB files?

Alright, try this please:

Download the DirectX End User Runtime: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 and place the file in your Battlefield 4 Beta DirectX Installer folder: C:\Program Files\Origin Games\Battlefield 3\__Installer\directx\redist

Then try the installation again.

Navagete to your Battlefield 4 Beta folder, if you have changed from default you can find the file path under Origin>Application Settings>Advanced.

Once you are in the Battlefield 4 Beta folder follow this path  __Installer/directx/redist

Once in the redist folder sort by file type, select all the .cab files and delete them.

Rerun the install and get ready for some beta action!

[EA_Dennis]

Please open your Battlefield 4 installation folder and navigate into __Installer\directx\redist (the default path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 Beta\__Installer\directx\redist)

Delete all .cab files from that folder, then run a Repair install on your Battlefield 4 (available via a right-click on Battlefield 4 in your games library).

Let us know if that helps.

edit: narf, too slow :D

Repair install never came up as an option even with all cab files deleted. Im begining to believe im gonna miss out on the beta

I did all that too... never worked. Went on youtube. Same problem with Battlefield 3 back in the day with the same fix. Never worked. Saw a comment saying that the computer just needed to be restarted. Restarted the computer. I will be enjoying the Beta tomorrow after work
