Can't install Origin on Windows 10
I am trying to install Origin on my Surface Pro which has Windows 10 installed. I am using the website's link for the download These are the error messages I'm receiving
Forum Discussion
I re-downloaded origin more than 5 times so that i could play sims4 and then it was bringing up an error saying something with vrcuntime, may i please have help?
@nicholhonaker Those two files are part of the 2015 VC++ runtimes, which Origin needs to install properly. It's best to uninstall your current copies, if you have any, and then download new ones from Microsoft. Hit Windows key-i, select Apps, scroll down to Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable, click on both the x86 and x64 entries (if you have them), and select Uninstall. You can download new copies here. Be sure to install both the x86 and x64 versions.

Restart your computer, and try to install Origin again.
Edit: I merged some posts. @KLightA Please see the above.
@xxJohnson3xx Do the errors list MSVCP140.dll and/or VCRUNTIME140.dll? If so, please see the above. Otherwise, please take a screenshot of the error and attach it to a post.
I know this is an old post, but thank you so so much. I had to reset my computer to factory settings and I kept getting an error message from Origin. I did the steps below to uninstall Microsoft VIsual C++… I was about to go crazy if I couldn't play The Sims...lol

- @puzzlezaddict Thank you so much for the help. I really appreciate it.
