Error: The VC++ runtime redistributable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue. (-2147024891)

Installation slows to a stop at 20% then jumps to 27% and stops with this error:

"Error: The VC++ runtime redistributable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue. (-2147024891)"

I've tried multiple things... downloaded and installed the C++ files (vcredist_64). I also redownloaded the game/Origin serveral times (Also in SafeMode with networking). If anyone can fix this problem please help!

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.

Even when I uninstall and then reinstall both, the game will not run and still gives the missing dll file error.

I don't have "VC2012Update3", I have "vc2010sp1" and "vc2013". Which one do I go into or do I not go into any?

Hey @cm1202000,

what exactly were you told to do?
I can't figure out how to help you when I don't know what you already tried.

Cheers,
