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.

Ok, it took me 1,5 days but I fixed it. 🙂

The final solution was to uninstall "Security Update for Windows 7 for x64bit systems KB2918614".

I tried many different solutions which might also be helpful for you. I found them googleing the error codes that I got when trying to install vcredist manually:

"Error 1359. An internal error occurred" and "0x80070643". The following solutions might also be helpful for you. May be it was a combination of all these that finally fixed my problem:

Good luck 😉
