Error message when downloading origin
Hi, I've been playing Sims 4 a lot on my laptop and it has been fine so I decided to try and download origin and play on my computer as well. However, when I try to download origin, I always get the ...
This issue is caused by running an out of date VC++ installation @gmy1212. It can be resolved by manually running the installer from the Origin installation folder - the default location for this folder is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin
From this folder, run one of both files:
- vcredist_x86_vs2015 (for 32bit Windows version)
- vcredist_x64_vs2015 (for 64bit Windows version)
If you get the message that the files are already installed, select Repair instead. It is recommended to run the installer as administrator (right-click the file, select run as admin).
You can also find the latest files on the Microsoft website:
