Can't install Apex on my friends PC - Origins setup won't start

[Urooosh]

This worked for me:

Download older version of the app (9.something), let it update, but it will not work still. However, uninstalling that (updated) version and downloading latest version should work now. I guess I had it installed at some point and some app leftovers (after uninstall) prevented it from starting.

Hi @simcedes

Manually uninstall Origin http://help.ea.com/en/article/manually-uninstalling-origin/

Run CCleaner http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-use-ccleaner-to-fix-pc-issues/

Then go in C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin -delete this Origin folder

Now you have to go to your recycle bin and clean so there will no longer Origin exist as a file.

Now  delete temp files.

Restart your machine.

Install Origin as administrator https://www.origin.com/en-ie/download

Can you try these steps, let me know if this worked.
