Re: I cant launch PvZ Garden Warfare

This error happens before the game ever opens?

This user had a similar problem:

http://answers.ea.com/t5/PvZ-Garden-Warfare-PC/Plants-Vs-Zombies-Garden-Warfare-Application-Error/td-p/4493483/page/2

He used Dependency Walker

http://www.dependencywalker.com/

Found that his VC++ redist had a wrong DLL file in System32.

On a 64bit system, system32 = 64bit files    syswow64=32bit files

You may try just running this as admin:

Origin Games\Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare\__Installer\vc\vc2012Update3\redist\vcredist_x64.exe

If you have a similar issue like the OP of that thread... it would be best to Cut the bad DLL out, put it on desktop or somewhere else.. then run the VC setup again..  Finding rogue DLLs on websites (even trusted ones).. isn't good practice.  I sometimes do this at work... copy a DLL from a known good computer... but even this is bad practice.  This is likely how a 32bit dll found it's way in system32 to begin with is my guess (?)
