Origin installer does not open.

★★★ Novice

I dont have Origin installed on pc to be clear.

It shows up on task manager, in details but does not open.

What ive tried:

Tried downloading older version of installer, no result.

Running installer after clean restart.

Reinstalling all of VC++ drivers.

Running it in safe mode.

Im about to format my hard drive just because of one game. Just yesterday installed it at my bro´s house.

On one article i read that there is a vc_redist installer in Origin installed folder that have helped some people with my issue, but i dont have Origin installed.

Any help/ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks!

If Origin is showing up in Task Manager then you have it at least partially installed.

 

We want a good install of Origin so please manually uninstall Origin using the specific steps here: https://help.ea.com/en/help/origin/origin/manually-uninstalling-origin/

 

Reboot and then download the most recent installer from here: https://www.origin.com/irl/en-us/store/download

 

Run the Origin installer and then retest again. Do let us know how you get on, thanks.
