    Mwhahahaha!!! Success!!! I got Origin to install!!! Woohoo!!!

    All I did was share my internet connection. This is how:

    Control Panel > Network and Sharing Centre > Change Adapter Settings > Click on "Local Area Connection"(Blackberry Device or Android or whatever you're using) > On the top right, click "Change settings of this connection > Click on "Sharing" tab > Click "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection" > Select your LAN connection from the drop-down menu. > Click "OK" > DONE!

    I hope this helps someone else!

I've given as much info as I can but bottom line: It is not my internet connectivity that is the problem because Origin was working fine 2 months ago...

The only missing "advice" in this contest of ridiculousness is "it's the color of your walls that is wrong - you have to repaint them".
With that mandatory update Origin has destroyed their so called software which we - gamers - do not need at all, which is nothing else than an obstacle to play games, and they put all the blame on us. "This is your antivirus fault.. oh no wait it's network setting... nono that's gotta be firewall..."
Dear Origin, your so called software stopped working right after it updated itself, you have to fix it - period. You are harming gamers and businesses of others, businesses that we care about - game producers. Hopefully they are going to figure this out soon and take actions.

    If the Origin client update had broken itself for everyone or even a relatively large group I would agree. But since that has not happened (assuming, as "the internet" is not filled with rant about it), they cannot fix it for you. Far too non-specific for them to even know what to fix.

    No other way to get it working other than re-install.

        Hi, @EyePanic

        We still have to know what he tried besides the 14:1 error solution proposed in the "complete origin support" thread.

        I don't know every solution posted on answer HQ, so everything is a little vague. When one is trying to solve problems one needs to ask questions concerning the problem.

        Do you have any suggestions?
