Wont let me Download origin

[yagurlbob]

It won't let me download Origin to play a game even though I've already bought it . It says it can't find VCRUNTIME240.dll and it can't find MSVCP140.dll either. I did everything I could . I downloaded both files and restarted my computer, downloaded Microsoft Visual C++ and restarted it , and some other things . I don't know what to do anymore so please help.

@yagurlbob I'm having the same problem with the same error code and it's very frustrating. How is it so difficult to simply download the client?

Hey @PonyWave and @yagurlbob this issue is caused by running an out of date VC++ installation. It can be resolved by manually running the installer from the Origin installation folder - the default location for this folder is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin

From this folder, run one of both files:

• 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).

You can also find the latest files on the Microsoft website:
