This is the error that i received.
But, after i received the error, i uninstalled the game and installed again, which lead to the same error again. After the 3rd try, the game was installed successfully, but still didn't run.

It sounds like Origin is blocked from writing/changing some important files on your computer, and such cases are frequently due to permissions issues or over-zealous security software.
