Don't know either but since for some this issue is solved by changing the default browser to IE and I know that the game sometimes has troubles with IE10, I thought it might help.
Pity it doesn't let you install you IE9.
Unfortuantely, Service Pack 1 (which you have) and the browser thing are the only two things I found on the net to solve this issue.
EDIT: One more thing I see hasn't been mentioned: Did you try running the setup as administartor ?
Yes. I have Origin in administrator setting and the browsers. What about uninstalling all the IE stuff and then reinstalling it again? But I am not sure what it is called in my control panel. Is it Microsoft Visual C++... or something else. I am not sure. I have had problems with IE crashing for the past several months and I am not sure why. But I wasn't sure what it was called. That very well could be the solution.
