Solution to install Origin

Create a windows 7 64 bit bottle and name it Origin, the name must be exactly Origin no variations or the setup won't work. Before starting the setup process create a blank txt file and open it. Paste this c script:

include<stdio.h>

int main ()

{

system ("mkdir ~/.cxoffice/Origin/drive_c/Origin");

while (1)

{

system ("chmod 777 ~/.cxoffice/Origin/drive_c/Origin");

}

}

Compile the script with gcc or other c IDEs. Start the Origin's setup window and execute the script, run Origin's installation process. Select ~/.cxoffice/Origin/drive_c/Origin as destination folder for the setup or the trick won't work. It's gonna take a while... After the process is complete you'll see the login screen of origin you can kill the c script process after the setup is complete. Remember to run this script every time Origin update itself or you won't be able to run the latest version and use your account online. For the updates The script must be edited just delete this line : system ("mkdir ~/.cxoffice/Origin/drive_c/Origin") and compile it again, execute it while the update is installing.
