Battlefield 1 VC++ Runtime redistributable not installed error

I just got BF1 today, went through the setup with all 5 disk and when I go to Install it on Origin I get the following error message (Image 1). I've been told to go into the installer and go into the redist and run "vsredist_x64" but get another error (Image 2) which I did and had to go through setup again. Should I upgrade to MS Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable?

You can manually run the required redistributables from the following locations. Do right click these and choose Run as Administrator:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 1\__Installer\vc\vc2012Update3\redist\vcredist_x64.exe

C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 1\__Installer\vc\vc2013\redist\vcredist_x64.exe

Let us know if you run into further difficulty, thanks.

Hello.
Here is my experice on how to solve 'VC++ Runtime redistributable not installed' and 0x80070003 Error.

Firstly please go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 1\__Installer\vc\vc2013\redist ,and install vc++ x64 and x86.
If failed with Error 0x80070003, go to C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\, please check 'View hidden items' in windows file system.Find programdata ,in the folder if 'Package Cache' pops out alert window saying it does not exist or deleted,please delete 'Package Cache' and create your new 'Package Cache' with the same name.
Then go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 1\__Installer\vc\vc2013\redist ,and try to install vc++ x64 and x86 .Guess everything will be fine.
