Re: Re: Installation error 1638

@gameratnik_07  I've split your post into its own thread because the previous thread was several years old.  I also moved it to the Other NFS Games section.

An Origin Error 1638 refers to the Microsoft Visual C++ Restributable, 2010 versions.  Uninstall both the x86 and x64 versions from your system:  Click the Windows icon in the lower left corner of your screen, then select Settings > Apps, and click on each entry to see the option to uninstall.  (Make sure you're only uninstalling the 2010 versions, since you may have a number of entries from other years.)  Then you can download new copies directly from Microsoft:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13523

Even though it's not listed, both will run just fine in Windows 10.
