Origin Error codes 4:7 ?

Close Origin entirely and re-open As Administrator. Solved the problem for me.

Hello ! I encountered the same problem while opening Origin. While updating, the same error occured : error code 4:7. Then I tried to run Origin as administrator, but it still not working (error code 9:0 this time)...

Try downloading update/installer from here: https://www.origin.com/en-us/store/download

Then run that as administrator, worked for me.

Hello ! Thank you for your answer. Actually I just cleared the cache and it worked for me

That doesn't help at all this link was talking about installing not just opening

I feel your irritation and possible hate, I just wanted some virtual company in the middle of the quarantine but instead, I get to spend an hour or two trying to get things running after another Origin "update". You will see any number of error codes if you simply try to right click and run as administrator: 10:1, 16:-1. 4:7, possibly 666, and I think I saw pi once as well. 

Best I've found is to completely uninstall Origin, make sure it isn't running anywhere. Then google how to clear your origin cache, go through that process while you ponder the fact that no other game service requires this much hand holding, then offer thanks these clowns don't have anything to do with making cars or anything vital. 

Then you can restart your origin install, and with any luck, it'll work this time. Don't bother sacrificing the goat to this dark, irritating, evil entity, that didn't do anything but clear out my cash. Hahahaha, get it? 

Long term solution? Hope EA comes to its senses, avoid buying any of their future products that need Origin.

I cleared my cache, removed & redownloaded OriginThinSetup.Exe, reopened to run as administrator, and still encountering Error Code 4:7... any other ideas?
