The Sims 3 Origin Installing Error. Please Help!

When I try to install The SIms 3 I always get Error: 327684:1 after it tells me that it failed to install VC++ properly. After searching for hours and trying everything I have updated my vcredist and installed them without any problems, yet i'm still getting the error for installing The Sims 3. If anyone knows a solution to this problem please tell me as I would love to play Sims 3.

@dalekthomas You can try clearing Origin's cache as well.

I'm not sure what you've tried so far, but here's EA's article about the error you're seeing:

I cleared Origin's cache, but to no avail. I followed every solution on the page, and still doesn't work... but thanks anyway

@dalekthomas Could you post a dxdiag on this computer? Perhaps someone with more expertise will be able to spot something.
