your game is officially installed without any single error 4rctic
lol apparently not because it still shows up with a play symbol next to it asking me to install, now that I think about it that log could be someone else's because I used a torrent to check for any corruption in my files, yes utorrent can tell me if my bf4 client is corrupt or not but origin can't, quite sad isn't it?
I just deleted the old log that was in there, here's a fresh one:

Here's the DirectX log, it's a little too long so I'll just post the last lines:

Think I got it working, here's exactly what I did:
Went to the Security Tab of the redist folder, gave Everyone, Administrators and my current account full permission, appliedTried to install, failed,
Went to the logs, it was complaining that GDFBinary_en_US was missing, this was because I saw this show up in someone else's log
in this thread and I thought moving it might help.
So I moved the file back to where it was supposed to be, tried to install again.
Worked.
Now there's a number 2 next to Battlefield 4 instead of the play symbol
I just double clicked BF4 in Origin to try playing it and it asked if I wanted to update, I'm going to take neoony's advice and say no, I don't want this piece of **bleep** to have any more problems than it already has
