    Okay thanks for this short "tutorial"

    Dont know if I did it right but at least I got some message...

    "MZÉ♥♦  ©☺♫▼║♫┤ ═!©☺L═!This program cannot be run in DOS mode.
    $ı╩t╚æ½"

    And yes, I got it with all those "Signs/emojis/..."

      Hi
      Ok that was not what i had expected o.O
      I tried with an installer from
      https://www.origin.com/dnk/en-us/store/download

      and start it directly from the download folder
      alt text

      (it starts)

      Im not sure how on earth you got the odd symbols.

      Is it win 7 or win 10 ?

                  I have no idea then.
                  No idea how those symbols should come or what it is.

                  So in such cases, i would normally try to create a new user profile and
                  login into to it and then
                  try to install in there to see if that works.

                      Sorry, took a few days as I hadn't any time at all...

                      Does not change a thing in the end as I tried to install origin with a new user profile and there was the same messages again... So no difference to my "Old" Profile

                        Hi and welcome back
                        Then there must be something else installed on your windows that
                        uses Qt and conflicts with Origin.
                        https://forum.qt.io/topic/118102/origin-cant-find-or-load-the-qt-platform-plugin-windows
                        tried to use listDlls tool to spot the culpit.
                        But seems not to find teh actual reason.
