Some of the most common origin install errors include origin error code 6.0, origin error code 10.0 and origin error code 20.2.
In this article, we take a look at the best possible solutions to help you resolve origin install errors in Windows computers.
How to fix Origin install errors in Windows computer
1. Origin Error Code 6.0
Change Installation Location
If you had recently uninstalled Origin to install the new version or due to any other reason and now get origin error code 6.0 during fresh install, try to change the installation path.
For example, if your previous installation was in C:\Programs Files (x86)\ Origin folder, try to move the new installation to any other partition.
First, create a subfolder named Origin in other D:\ or E:\ drive.
Run the Origin installer.
Instead of selecting a default installation path, click the Browse button and select D:\Origin or E:\Origin partition to install the Origin client.
After the installation has completed, launch the client and check if it reads the game data that is saved in C:\ drive.
If the issue persists, simply create a new folder named Origin in C:\ProgramFiles (x86) and select it as installation path during Origin client install.
Clear Origin Data Cache
Make sure you have closed any origin installer that is open.
Open the Task Manager and close any process that is related to the Origin client.
Press Windows Key + R, type %ProgramData% and click OK.
In this folder, you will find a folder called LocalContent. You need to delete all the other folders and file except LocalContent folder.
If you accidentally delete the LocalContent folder, open Recycle Bin, and restore it.
After that, open File Explorer and navigate to the following location: C:\Users\username\AppData
Open the Local folder. Delete Origin folder in there.
Reboot the computer and check for any improvements.
