Mass Effect Installation Error.
Bought the Mass Effect Trilogy and downloaded all 3 off of Origin. Got to install and I keep getting a VC++ Error on installation for all 3 games. My laptop has the latest VC++ package (2012?) But it seems as if all 3 games are trying to install an inferior version. Is there anyway to fix this for it will not install any of the 3 games.
Here is the what the error message says for all 3 installation errors.
"Error: The VC++ runtime redistributable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue. (-2147023436)"
And the installation log-
