This issue is caused by running an out of date VC++ installation @Karperus. It can be resolved by manually running the installer from the Origin installation folder - the default location for this folder is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin

From this folder, run one of both files:

  • vcredist_x86_vs2015 (for 32bit Windows version)
  • vcredist_x64_vs2015 (for 64bit Windows version)

If you get the message that the files are already installed, select Repair instead. It is recommended to run the installer as administrator (right-click the file, select run as admin).

You can also find the latest files on the Microsoft website:

Still getting error, it's not enough if one of vcredist (I mean one of 2010/2015/2019) is installed.

Included error message from vcredist 2010sp when trying to run it (before it is unpacking window).

    Where did you get that VC++ from @Karperus, the install folder of the direct link?

        Try downloading it directly from the website I linked above @Karperus.
