Plants vs Zombies garden Warfare 2 won't launch

[GetCheckedMate]

After a whihle I wanted to play PvZ Garden Warfare 2 again, and had installed it. But upon launching it, nothing happened. The "Play" button darkened for a second and it seemed to try to load the game and fails.

I've tried to repair the game multiple times, reinstall the game also doesnt work. 

when i try to launch the GW2.Main_Win64_Retail.exe it reads:

Windows cannot find 'C:\ProgramFiles(86x)\Origin Games\ Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2\GW.Main_win64_retail.exe'. Make sure you've typed the name correctly then try again.

Please help :D

I've tried everything in there, but with no succes. The directX installs smoothly and with no problems.

I've also noticed that my hour's played has gone up without being able to open the game.

@GetCheckedMate After you launch the game, is it running in your task manager? 

[GetCheckedMate]

@EA_Darko nope, only the origin client

I've googled more and more tried close to everything I can find

@GetCheckedMate Can you check that your PC is able to run the game. The fastest and easiest way is to go here and follow the instructions: https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

Yes it is able to run it (It worked in the past) i7-3770 12 gb ram gtx 1080ti

@GetCheckedMate Try the following, go to your install folder most likely in C:/program files (x86)/origin games/plant's vs zombies garden warfare 2/ _installer/directx/redist and delete all except DXsetup, dsetup.dll and dsetup32.dll. Then, run dxsetup as administrator and then try launching the game again.
