DirectX Setup Error: Cabinet file not signed

I am trying to install C&C 3 Tiberium Wars and Kane's Wrath. I downloaded through origin, and the install gets to about 25 % then I get an error message that says: DirectX Setup Error: Cabinet (.cab) file not signed. How do I get this game to install on my comp?

    1) Go to the folder you've installed Origin Games in (by default, C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games

    2) Inside of the Ultimate Collection folder, go to the install folder and then the DirectX folder.

    3) Click on the redist folder and send it to the Recycle Bin with the Delete key. [Make sure to take a backup!]

    4) Go into Origin, try to install again, and then when given the option to repair the game, do so. It will redownload all those files that just got deleted, and for me, this time they came properly signed.

    5) The game should install properly.
