    • Head to the Battlefield 4 installation folder, C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 by default, then find the _Installer folder.
    • In _Installer, navigate into the VC folder, then into vc2012Update3, and finally redist.
    • In redist, find both the x86 and x64 versions of VCredist.exe.
    • Run and install both versions, and your game should now launch without error.

This is just plain weird.

I followed your instructions, but on running the x64 version of VCredist.exe an error was displayed that I was informed necessitated the restart of my PC.

The PC restarted and I opened up the Origin program. BF4 was listed, but it said I had to download over 24GB (presumably the game?). So what was on the three DVDs in the box?

The C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games folder is now completely empty.

 

Why should I need to download when I have the disks?

    So I decided to attempt another install from the disks after closing down the Origin program.

    All went well with the default settings and I am about to launch the game!
