but then it failed to update for some reason. The software installed and then it tried to update. One legitimately good idea that I got from the forums was to download an older version of originthinsetup.exe (from a provided link), install that version, then let it update automatically. But sadly there was nothing that sounded truly identical to my issue so I gave up on finding answers (that's the other reason why I'm writing this now). So then I referred to the forums to see if anyone else has experienced something similar. I didn't have any faith that trying this would actually achieve anything but I tried anyway. The error messages recommended reinstalling the software in case that worked. Oh, did I forget to mention that this is the latest version of the software.ĭespite this, I wanted to give Origin a chance and try and fix the issue. (whatever "thin" means.) It immediately came up with an error stating that msvcp140.dll was not found, and then followed up with a second error message stating that vcruntime140.dllwasn't found either. Went to my downloads and tried to originthinsetup.exe. No problems there of course, but that's literally the only thing that worked.

So first off (obviously), I tried downloading Origin onto my PC from the website. It's not making a good first impression with me. This is my first experience with the platform and I gotta say. First of all, I'd like to clarify that I've never used Origin before.
