Origin Installation Issue

[michaelaisdumb]

I can't install the Origin application on my computer. I've tried every method, and asked multiple people on help and cannot do it. It says there's a file that I need to replace in order to install it but I'm completely clueless. Someone please help, thanks.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess these are the steps you need: 

Download and install both the x86 and x64 versions of the required Visual Studio files:

• x86: vc_redist.x86.exe

• x64: vc_redist.x64.exe

If required, the following steps can also help in this situation.

• Right click your game in Origin and then choose Repair
• Run System File Checker to ensure the integrity of your Windows System files: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
