TLDR: Some pre-requisites are missing from origin thing setup. Download+install this https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/VC_redist.x86.exe

Long answer: First and foremost, don't follow any youtube videos that tell you to download files from shady websites. Those files could damage your computer or compromise your data and privacy.

To fix those errors simply download and install Microsoft Visual C++ for Visual Studio 2019 from the official Microsoft site: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/pt-br/downloads/

Select the x86 version

  • I would charge your answer to simply say, prerequisite software is missing. Download and install the C++ resist and continue the origin install. Jun 25, 2020 at 21:14
  • What exactly is origin?

  • @Ramhound "What exactly is origin?" - OP is referring to the Origin gaming client from EA, which is similar to Steam. OriginThinSetup.exe appears to be the name of the web installer for Origin on Windows. Jun 25, 2020 at 22:57
  • @Anaksunaman - That definitely was not clear.
