Can't update Origin. Error Code 9.0

This is the second update in a row this has happened.  I've cleaned the caches, checked the compatibility mode for admin privileges (it's an admin account anyway, but what the hell), and made sure the firewall ports are excepted.  Nothing.  The only the thing that works is a clean reinstall of Origin, which is a pain because of how atrociously coded the client is in its dependency on server-side processing while it re-validates every damn game.  At least I assume that's why it chugs, otherwise there's some very shoddy coding going on under the hood.

What would really help is the answer to a simple question;  What is Error Code 9:0?  A general install failure?  Corrupted files?  Gremlin in the code engine?  Black-box error codes help no-one.
