QT5Multimedia.dll Error

[TotalDbag97]

So I went to start up steam today and I'm getting the errors

C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin\Qt5Multimedia.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.  Error status 0xc000012f

C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin\Qt5TextToSpeech.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.  Error status 0xc000012f

Worked fine about a week ago.  Tried uninstalling Origin, did the sfc /scannow command, repaired my Microsoft C++ visual stuff, and now when I try to reinstall I get the same errors.

Hey @TotalDbag97, can you try installing the most up to date version of VC++ to see if it helps.

You can find the latest version on the Microsoft website: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

You need to install both of the following:

• vcredist_x86_vs2015 (for 32bit Windows version)
• vcredist_x64_vs2015 (for 64bit Windows version)

If you get the message that the files are already installed, select Repair instead. It is recommended to run the installer as administrator (right-click the file, select run as admin).

I tried that and it didn't.  But I found a link to a full origin install and not the slim one you get on the site when you click install origin and it seems to be working now.

Great to hear that you got it sorted @TotalDbag97.

The version of Origin on origin.com would be the full version of the installer.

Can you share where you found the full install? Thanks!

You can get it from origin.com @Rickrolledu.

If you select download on the main page that will take you to the full download of Origin.
