This goes back to 2016. Every time. Every single time. What is linked is a work around and not a fix because it happens again and again. I really want to know what it's going to take for a permanent fix. An installer that breaks every update. It's absolutely ridiculous, unprofessional and should be an embarrassment to the company.
I've had this error several times now, and like many other users I am sick of it. Can't you fix it? It seems to have been around for more than two years now!
...and again. I am, like so many others, so damned sick of the Origin Client failing to update. Why the heck is it so difficult to get this one right, EA? Do you even bother to read how frustrated your customers are? Do you care? I have to wonder, because if you did care you'd fix the problem.
honestly!! EA & Origin should be ashamed
I've spent like 2 hours of my night trying to fix this. It's 2018 and this started in 2016?? I bought 50 dollar worth of games from y'all today and I can't play them. Cleared my cache doesn't work. Uninstall and then a reinstall still get the code. What else can I do? Preferably something that doesn't take up anymore of free time to play things I paid for.
This may be weird, but try not to lose window focus during update, i.e. - do not open any other windows (folders, programs, "start" button) during update.
The posted accepted solution did not work for me, I discovered on my own that disabling my anti-virus temporarily allowed the install to complete. Can someone please tell me what file I need to add to my anti-virus exclusions list to keep this from happening? Is it just the OriginSetup.exe?
This is really frustrating as I fix the problem but it always seems to come back as soon as there is an update. Apparently I have files missing from my computer too. Has anyone found a permanent fix?
If it happens again whit new updates the most likely explanation is that security software is blocking the installation.
Close your browser and disable your anti virus software's real time scanner (Don't forget to enable it after the installation) if Origin prompts you for the next update.
Ive tried doing all the steps possible, but everything I do it just won't let me update...?
that doesn't work
For those who are as frustrated as I am, I'm sure there are multiple reasons this error could occur, but I'll write down what the issue was for me.
Problem: Attempt to install Origin Update and get the 9:0 error. (Windows 10)
What I found
I uninstalled Origin and still got the error. Looked in the file explorer and saw that even though Origin was not installed, there was an origin directory in Program Files. I attempted to delete the files as administrator but a process was holding on to them, so I could not delete them.
The task manager and saw a suspended process called OriginWebServiceHost. I attempted to force end it, but got an Access Denied error.
After attempting various methods of force killing the process, I restarted the machine, but the process was still there. So I went to Power Options => Additional Power Settings => Choose What the Power Buttons Do => Change Settings that Are Currently Unavailable => Uncheck the "Turn on fast startup" option
After disabling that, I restarted my PC, deleted the origin directory in Program Files, and was able to successfully install the client. Hope this helps someone else

you sure about that robot tom? the help page does less then help
its a bit disheartening that this problems been going on for years now
What should I do ?
Install Orgin in a new drive or file location, that's what worked for me.
The last time this happened to me I had a USB drive in the system. Removing the USB drive allowed me to continue with the installation.
This time, I have no idea other than the suggestions in this thread. I'll try a few, including the reinstall.
Hi tom,
I have tried looking on the link suggested when the error code comes up but I am still struggling to find help on the matter. It won’t let me update it and quite frankly I am scared to uninstall and reinstall in case it doesn’t allow me to open it again.
Any help or advise is much appreciated!
