DirectX setup error: The cabinet (.cab) file is not signed

every time I try and install dead space 3 I get an error at 25% saying that "DirectX setup error: The cabinet (.cab) file is not signed", I tried deleting the redist folder and reinstalling but it just says "error a redistributable package (directX) was not installed successfully. setup cannot continue. (false)"  does anybody have a solution for this?

    Okay i know what to do now.

    You have to go to where your orgin games are. Default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games

    Then you have to delete the Dead Space folder.

    Then relog origin or log in.

    Redownload dead space 3 and install.

    That's how i got my dead space 3 working.
