Origin won't download

★★★ Newbie
So I had a great game on sims 3 and then for some reason it shut down. But me and my friends share the cd and she has it so I can't open it back up for ages as she is on holiday and forgot to give it back. But I have the code so I tried to download origin so I could play it through origin. I downloaded it and then it said it has to update so it updated after it had installed. But then it came up with a message saying "my update couldn't be completed, please download and install the the latest version of origin" and gave me a link. So I tried that and the same thing happened. Anyone help??

@evelet123  Hi, 

 

First off, please download the Origin installation file from here: https://www.origin.com/download

Next, please navigate to your download folder and right click the "OriginThinSetup.exe" file and choose "Run As Administrator".

 

If that still does not work, and the installation fails, please follow the below steps in exact order:

  1. Manually uninstall Origin.
  2. Run CCleaner.
  3. Restart your router/modem and do a Clean Boot.
  4. Make sure that your UAC is enabled and set to notify.
  5. Download the latest version of Origin and install the client - make sure to run the setup file with administrator rights.
  6. Add firewall/antivirus exceptions for Origin and open the needed ports.
  7. When starting Origin, please make sure to run it as Administrator.

Let us know how you get on afterwards.

 

Cheers,

Nils
