Hi, just tried to reinstall after deleting the old install. Ran the program as admin and it finished but then popped the same error again.

@gibletsmasherIn that case then, can you please try the following steps:

Hi, Tried all of that, task manager became unresponsive a whole bunch of times but got the clean install up. Downloaded origin from the link, cannot find it to add to an exception rule for the firewall, ran it as admin and errored again. Still can't find it on an exception list for the firewall.
About to give up, should it really be this hard?

@gibletsmasher Disable your firewall entirely and then try it again. Is your system freezing when you are going through the steps?
June 2018
yeah, its becoming unresponsive and hanging even task manager
Will try again today at some point. I only use windows defender and spybot. I'll uninstall spybot to be on the safe side and disable defender too.
Is this trouble I'm going through unheard of? or has this occured before.?

@gibletsmasher The issues point to a system issue rather than one with the game. Are you seeing issue with other apps or games?

I had this problem and I fixed it going to control panel, click unistall a program, search for Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 redistributable (x86), select it, click change and then click repair.
