I attempted to follow all of your instructions; I double-checked that I was clean booting correctly( according to this), rebooted, and attempted to uninstall/reinstall through pbsvc.exe . Uninstalling seemed to work fine and gave me this log report:
- Starting PunkBuster Service Installer (v0.993) (05/18/16 13:17:47)

However, installing through pbsvc.exe simply cut out partway through and gave me this log report:

I am completely certain that I'm doing all of this as an administrator and with administrator permissions. I didn't continue forward to updating/starting Origin as an administrator because pbsvc.exe threw that error.
