Origin install fail error 0x000007b.  See enclosed file screenshot.

Because Origin will not install, I can not download and install Crysis, which I paid for.  

Thanks

Hey @kneepuck installing the most up to date VC++ should fix this issue for you.

You can find the latest version on the Microsoft website: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

You need to install both of the following:

• vcredist_x86_vs2015 (for 32bit Windows version)
• vcredist_x64_vs2015 (for 64bit Windows version)

If you get the message that the files are already installed, select Repair instead. It is recommended to run the installer as administrator (right-click the file, select run as admin).
