There are three different things you can try:
1. Make sure that none of your other programs are in conflict with Origin. Usually this is your anti-virus program or your firewall. Read more about that here:

2. Uninstall and reinstall the Origin client.
3. Try to start Origin in Compatibility Mode (Windows 7) when you are playing on Windows 8.
I am having the same problem. When the game finished downloading it opened the uninstall manager not the install manager and now the install manager won't pop up when I click install.
Not to be rude but to me that advice means nothing. I need detailed instructions of how to do these things. I am using AVG.

You should always be able to get instructions on how to whitelist or allow a game in your anti-virus program or firewall on the website of your anti-virus or firewall program. There are just too many possible programs out there for us to list them all.

Now could someone please sticky the above linked post I made as this is the second post about this problem I have seen since writing it and considering this is the solution to the problem it would probably help a lot of people if it was made readily available to all. :D
