cant download the game

Go to your Origin file location and repair your vcredist files

Go to this location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Apex\__Installer\vc

Delete all the folders then open Origin and right click Apex.

Click repair and wait for it to finish

I have tried this but not worked. instead of repair it just installs has that got something to with it?

yeah, because it tries to install the game and what it needs will try to download.

so what do I do then?

Okay try starting over from scratch by removing everything.

Follow my guide and go to the origin and apex section.

scroll down to dissecting everything from the system.

once done redownload origin and start over, sometimes files get corrupted.

here is a link to origin: https://www.origin.com/gbr/en-us/store/download

I was going through the steps but cannot find c:\programdata on my pc

That is a hidden file if you put the location address in the top bar here:

you can jump straight to it without having to go the long way.

electronic arts origin isn't on program data
