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.

Hello.

Here is my experice on how to solve 'VC++ Runtime redistributable not installed' and 0x80070003 Error.
I had this problem when installing Battlefield i on Origin.
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.
English is not my first language so please forgive me for any mistake in text here.

Hey @Herr_Gustave,

thanks for sharing your experience - I don't see any issues with your English, so no worries.

When it comes to missing runtimes, there's also a way to install the missing ones all at once - here's a link to All-in-one runtimes.
