Installation error

The installation gets to 20% and then stops. It gives the error message "Error: a redistributable package (DirectX) was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue. (false) " 

This keeps happening whether I reboot update directx. 

I played on the beta

Could anyone help

My Rig:

Amd 8320 3.5ghz

Amd sapphire 7850 hd

8gb 2133mhz ram

  • I know how to fix this 

    First you find any other game you own preferably a steam one

    Then you need to go into the game files and use some common sense to get to the installer

    steam games are in the Programfiles(x86) then steam apps , then common and then find the installer 

    in said installer find the files that are called DXSETUP.exe DSETUP.dll and dsetup32.dll and copy them

    then go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4\__Installer\directx\redist

    and paste them in there replace the files already in there but I prefer to put them in another folder
