This solved the problem for me. You need to uninstall Origin you won't lose any game info from other games in Origin so don't worry about that. Restart the autorun from disc and let it reinstall Origin and download the update for Origin. If you tried to start downloading BF4 you can cancel that. Then restart the autorun to begin installing BF4 from disc. Hope this helps.
Outside of the confirmed solution above (thank you for documenting it), there are a few more things you can try:
- Logging on as administrator / running the installer as administrator
- Disabling compatibility mode
- Disabling any emulation software (clean boot as described in my previous post should also take care of this)
It was my antivirus(Kaspersky). Thank you!😕mileyhappy:

After spending another 6 hours I figured out it was a program running in the background causing me problems when trying to update anything. My new motherboard had come with software including something that's supposed to speed up the ram called AS_Ram. I only figured this out because I would be warned that the extra drive that the software created and used to store temp files was running out of space. Clearing up space didn't help but installing the program did. I've installed the game but haven't played it yet so here's hoping I won't have anymore issues!
