Ok. This time i deleted the files and used repair on Origin as Administrator, but during installation i received a DirectX Error from the EAInstaller. But instead of cancelling the installation, Origin treated as if the game was complete. I tried again and same thing, DirectX error and Origin treating the game as fully installed.

Community AdminThanks, what did the error message say? Are you able to set your user account control to always notify, then try again, and see if you receive an option to let Origin make the necessary steps.

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.

Thanks. When you enabled the UAC did you get more notifications. You mention taking your AV offline, can you double check that this is disabled? 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.
Oh hello. Sorry for not replying sooner. I did enabled UAC and didn't get any notifications. I also recently had some problems with AV and had to uninstall it, so i took the opportunity to try installing the game again, but nothing worked. I also noticed this is only a problem with PvZ, because i installed Zuma's Revenge, Peegle and Bejeweled 3 from Origin, and they all worked fine.
