ok found an eventual solution and got the game working on me pc .Just had to install a redistributable direct x package on-line . Look for something on google search like 'Redistributable direct x package installation' . Click on any page that will be a link to the official microsoft download page and download and install the direct x package that is redistributable .With any one of em successfully installing from those download pages .Your game will pass the 25% progression where it stopped at this error message before .

Hi, my recent download of Dead Space 3 (part of the SimCity offer) is complete, but the actual installation of it is stuck at 25%. It's been like this for about 16 hours now. Does anyone know what is causing this or how to fix it?
I have received no error messages, and the option to pause or cancel the installation in Origin is greyed out.
