Origin won't open. I keep getting the message that reinstalling might fix the problem., Tried that and still the same. It says ; The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix the problem. 

The it says; The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found 

. Reinstalling the program may fix the problem.

I have tried to reinstall but nothing.

Re: Origin won't open

@Krazykate58  Those files are part of the 2015 VC++ runtimes, which Origin needs to install properly.  It's best to uninstall your current copies, if you have any, and then download new ones from Microsoft.  Hit Windows key-i, select Apps, scroll down to the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributables, click on both the x86 and x64 entries (if you have them), and select Uninstall.  You can download new copies here. Be sure to install both the x86 and x64 versions.

Restart your computer, and try to install Origin again.
