origin installer won't launch (Mac)

★★★ Newbie

okay, so I got a brand new laptop this month. I had Origin and Sims 4 on my old one. I tried downloading the Origin installer, but it won't launch. No amount of restarting my MacBook, using the origin reset software, clearing the origin files manually, just any and all solutions people have tried, is working. I'm honestly close to just deleting it and I'm sad because of my wasted money. is there any way, other than restarting, making a new admin, redownloading, reseting, etc. (because I have tried all of these and none of them worked) that I can get my Origin installer to launch at least!??

 

It downloaded fine, but when I click on the Origin.dmg file in my downloads folder, nothing happens.

@Celestiiaus  Please use this guide to doing a clean uninstall of Origin to delete all Origin-related files on your computer, even if you've done it before.

Restart your Mac, and download a fresh copy of the Origin installer using this direct download link:

 

https://www.dm.origin.com/mac/download

 

Right-click on the download and select Open.  Let me know what happens.  And if it doesn't work, please let me know what the default browser is on your Mac, and whether you've engaged any extra privacy settings or installed any utilities to block cookies, pop-ups, etc.
