I have noticed this is a common problem but I have tried every solution that seemed to work for others and I get the same error every time. This is what I found, i'm not sure if it helps but if anyone knows how to help that would be great!

Origin
The faulting file in question pertains to Visual C++. It's worthwhile checking on your PC to see which version - if any - is installed on there. You can download the appropriate package here.
It would also be helpful if you could download and run the TSG System Information Utility to the PC in question, run it, and then post the results back to this thread.
Here are the results and I downloaded the Windows package although it did not seem to help
Tech Support Guy System Info Utility version 1.0.0.4
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 10 Home, 64 bit
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-8320 Eight-Core Processor, AMD64 Family 21 Model 2 Stepping 0

I just did the Visual Studio 2017 but when it asked for more specific packages I just selected none. I wasnt sure if I was supposed to download one or any of them.
I did this and I still have the issue. I have noticed in task manager when I attempt to launch it that it says suspended next to it before going away along with something called "WerFault.exe Windows Problem Reporting (32 bit)" These both end within seconds after trying to launch Origin.
Here is a picture of my task manager if this helps https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/329764643612655616/544225189970575360/unknown.png
Also thank you for spending the time to help me I really appreciate it.
WerFault.exe is the Windows error-reporting process, so it's likely trying to report the fault back to Microsoft. Would it be possible for you to uninstall everything related to Origin, reboot your PC, and then try re-installing it?
Oh, I forgot to mention: I'm glad to be of assistance. When I see issues like this, having dealt with many over the years, I tend to think, "Challenge accepted!"
Okay, let's look at other avenues here. Instances of the DLL in question may exist in C:\Windows\System 32 and/or C:\Windows\SysWOW64. Can you check to ensure the file is in one or both of these locations?
Also, I would recommend opening a command line with Administrator privileges and then running sfc / scannow. Once that's finished, run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth and then reboot the PC.
Okay, let's try something else. Can you open Control Panel, go to the list of installed programs, and then take a snapshot of the versions of Visual C++ installed on the PC? After that, upload them to this thread so I can look at them, please.
Okay, I see you have the x86 and x64 versions of the 2015 package, so that's good. Click on them one at a time, choose Change, and then Repair. Reboot when prompted. If not prompted, ensure you still reboot.
Once that's done, do the same for the Microsoft XNA Framework package. Again, rebooting after completion.
Hmmm....I don't have much more to offer, I'm afraid. I would recommend uninstalling the Origin software completely, rebooting the PC, and then re-installing using Run-as Administrator for the installation executable.
