Installing the Origin Agent on Windows: MSI Silent Deploy - OriginHQ

The MSI installer is available from the Origin console. As noted in the prerequisites, this install option requires Microsoft Visual C++ to be installed. An .exe installer is also available upon request and will install Microsoft Visual C++ automatically if it is missing.
