Error 131086:262149

Could you please take a look at the following folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 3\__Installer

There should be a file called InstallLog.txt with a timestamp from around your last installation. Please post the content of that file here, this could potentially show us why it's not working as expected for you.

Many thanks in advance.

I am also having the exact same issue and I don't know what to do I have tried running in compatability mode and turning off firewalls and antivirus, but do no effect.

Could you please take a look at the folder that I mentioned in my previous post. There should be a file called InstallLog.txt, please post the content of that file here, this could give us some idea where it's failing. 

Thanks.

The file you mention is not there however there is a file that says "installerdata" which I am assuming is the same thing. I am using windows 8 64 pro and have heard that origin may have compatability issues with win 8, just an FYI. 

I tried to post the log but I cant exceed 20,000 characters? This is the last half of the log that I could fit.

Unfortunately, that file doesn't help much with this error message. Windows 8 shouldn't be a problem either, even though it's not officially supported, Origin should work without major hiccups, it's working perfectly fine for me at home. 

Can you please make sure that Origin is running with administrative rights, to do so, right-click the Origin shortcut on your desktop and select Run as Administrator.

Yes I have tried that already.

I am not sure if this could be a source of the issue, but I downloaded this game off Uplay, and in order to start the install I have to start it through Uplay and then it transfers over to Origin, otherwise Origin wants me to redownload the whole file, so I don't know if that is an issue and perhaps I need to redownload entirely through Origin? I am out of ideas. 

That's good to know, can you start Uplay via a right-click -> Run as administrator please and try again. On a computer every process (program) has a parent process from which it inherits its priviledges, in this case Uplay is launching Origin and if Uplay is missing some priviledges, Origin will be missing them as well which could lead to this error message. 

If that doesn't help either and Battlefield is showing up in your games library in Origin, then please try installing if from Origin directly. 

Hope any of this works for you.

Well thats what is odd about it, In order to start the installation I have to start it through Uplay, because if I start Origin by itself then it only prompts me to download the game again even though its already been downloaded, is there a way to get Origin to recognize that I already have the game, I really dont want to redownload the entire game on Origin just in the hopes that I wont get the same error, why is it that I have the game downloaded through Uplay, but Origin does not recognize that it has already been downloaded?

That might be because Uplay is saving the game files somewhere else. It's kinda like if I would save a file on your computer but I wouldn't tell you that I did this and where the file is located 🙂

Search for your Uplay game folder and you should be able to locate the Battlefield folder including all the files. I hope the file/folder structure is the same as it is with Origin, but I guess that's the case. Check in your Origin options where your Games folder is located and copy & paste the Battlefield 3 folder into it. Then restart Origin and if you click Install it should hopefully detect the files and start the installation. 

Please let us know if that doesn't work.
