I've been trying to install origin for a few days and the installer fails totally before it even starts. i've tried all the work arounds that i have found including installing as admin, removing things, removing hosts, etc. The only thing I haven't done is a fresh installation which i don't think I should have to do when it's only your installer that won't function.
Is this a byproduct of you breaking things with your last update? I just want to play the products I have purchased but that is impossible when your software doesn't work.

Hey @MarieSimmie, when you say that you don't want to do a fresh install, does this mean that you currently have Origin installed and are attempting to install it again without first removing your existing install?
The best thing to do is try the following steps:
Try running Origin as an administrator:
This runs the Origin client as an administrator account, and should let the game install.
Try lowering the User Access Control settings:
