How to prevent Origin from running DX, C++ and other installations

Hello, I am new to the Origin and I was wondering if there is a way to prevent it from running DX, C++ and other programs I do not want it to run. In Steam I can simply delete them before launching the game but Origin seems to run them during the installation.

And before you ask I simply hate the idea that there is any program installed without my consent. That is what malware or virus do.

    Hi @Chapon2,

    Can you do that on Steam? Not that I ever tried because those programs are quite essential for the games to run correctly. That's why when they are corrupted or missing the games don't run.

    Of course you can do it on Steam. Simply delete them before you run the game. And I know what they are for. I install them, when I need them, not when someone else decides that I need them and installs them without even asking me. So there is no way to do it the same way in Origin?
