Origin won't Install (Windows 10)

★★★★ Novice

I recently had to completely reset my PC because of some hard drive issues and everything has been working fine so far except Origin. I used to have it on this computer before I reset it, but now it won't even let me download it. I downloaded the installer from the site but when I click on it all I get is two error messages. I'm not especially smart with computers so this might be a dumb question but I haven't seen anything similar online. I've tried redownloading the installer many times and running it as an administrator but it's still not working. Any help would be appreciated!

Can you let us know if downloading and installing both the x86 and x64 components of the following package helps with this please?

I already had the x64 component and downloading the x86 one fixed it. Thanks for the help!

Are you seeing an error message of any kind @TheFallen2432?

 

What happens when you try to install Origin, does it crash upon launch of the installer?

 

The more info we have the better we can help.

i am receiving the same error message as the original poster. 

i have checked my programmes and i have these installed:

Microsoft visual C++ 2013 redistributable (x86)

Microsoft visual C++ 2013 redistributable (x64)

Microsoft visual C++ 2012 redistributable (x86)

Microsoft visual C++ 2012 redistributable (x64)

Microsoft visual C++ 2010 redistributable (x86)

Microsoft visual C++ 2010 redistributable (x64)

Microsoft visual C++ 2008 redistributable (x86)

Microsoft visual C++ 2008 redistributable (x86)

Microsoft visual C++ 2005 redistributable

Microsoft visual C++ 2005 redistributable 

 

do i need to download anything else to download origin successfully as these programmes have been on the computer previously and i haven't downloaded anything new.

 

i have also performed a windows reset and reloaded all of the essential software and drivers back onto the laptop and origin still will not download.
