MSVCP140.dll missing - in newly reinstalled Origin
Possibly not a NEW topic, since I'm not the only disgruntled user with a disk full of expensive EA games and no function Origin!
Along with Adobe Acrobat and Office 365, Origin stopped working about a week ago, having been working perfectly just a few hours earlier. Everything was up to date - but that might have been the problem, since some of the updates were very new.
Anyway, after a great deal of hassle, managed to reinstall Office 365 (at about the twentieth attempt). Acrobat and Origin - newly installed - continue to bleat that their exe file can't be found - even though it's actually sitting in the appropriate folder, newly installed!
Latest attempt at Origin produced a second error message: MSVCP140.dll missing. Well, if anything is missing it is because ORIGIN has failed to install it (and I've installed, deinstalled, reinstalled, scanned and all the rest).
Either HELP - or tell me how I can get back all the money I've spent on Sims 4 which I can no longer play. (Actually, I realise I'm probably addressing fellow Origin-sufferers - but you know what I mean!)
The error message you are seeing @whdickinson is not related to Origin but rather to an issue with your system.
Can you go ahead and download and install both the x86 and x64 components of the following package and then try your games again.

Let me know how you get on.
