Re: Origin needs to download files and is waiting for permission.

Hello all! 
I haven't played SIMS 4 in about a month. I came back to my computer, launched origin without any issues. But when I tried to launch the Sims, it said there is an update. I've installed updates before with no issues. However, this time it keeps giving me an error along the lines of "Origin needs your permission to install, please click allow in the Windows popup box". There is no popup box that comes up. I have uninstalled both Sims and Origin from my computer. Origin re installs just fine, but the reinstall of Sims gives that same error. I have tried turning UAC to the lowest level and running it, it still did not work. (I have since turned UAC back to the recommended level). I am on an admin account on my computer. 

The only thing I can think of is that I am in Panama, not the US. I have tried running it connected the VPN and disconnected from it. Neither works. I have installed updates here before, and even did my original install while here, so I'm not sure that is the issue.
