It just closed, one second it was running then it vanished, no warning, nothing to say what happened wether it failed or worked.

The 2005 files do close with no indication of success or failure. Are you still seeing the error?
As @EA_Barry mentioned the install process of the VC++ 2005 package ends without any message about success.
Go to your ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\__Installer\vc\vc2008sp1\redist" folder and run both the "vcredist_x64.exe" and the "vcredist_x86.exe" as administrator > Reboot > test.
If the error persists, go here and here and download both VC++ packages (x86 and x64) for Visual C++ 2008.
Deinstall all "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008" installations from the Windows Control panel "Programs and features" > reboot
Then install both (x86 and x64) versions you downloaded. (Run the installer as Admin) > reboot > test.
If that still don't works, deactivate the cloud save feature for ME3.
Close Origin completely.
Then move the "Mass Effect 3" folder from your "Documents/Bioware" folder to your Desktop > test the game.

If have not yet done so, right click the game in Origin and then Repair the game. Let that process finish and then retest.
Additional to @EA_Barry if the repair don't works.

No, there are several from different years and different versions. (x86 & x64)
Did you de-installed and reinstalled the 2008 versions of the Vc+ packages? (And only this two?)
- Anonymous8 years agoI have 2 2005 two 2008 and two 2015
If I only have one version would that fix things
