@novababy25 Please use these guides to clearing Origin's cache and uninstalling Origin "the hard way" to remove all Origin-associated files from your computer.

Restart your computer, then download the full Origin installer, and run it as an admin: right-click on the download and select "Run as administrator." This is a direct download link:

If you still get the error, you may need to install components of the VC++ 2015 runtimes, or replace the ones you already have installed. Hit Windows key-i, select Apps, scroll down to Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable, click on both the x86 and x64 entries (if you have them), and select Uninstall. You can download new copies here. Be sure to install both the x86 and x64 versions.

Restart your computer, and try to install Origin, again using the full installer.
If you get a different error at any point, i.e. not the update to Windows 7 one, please post a screenshot so I can see it.
