today I attempted to load up BF3 and was greeted with this message "Waiting for you to finish the installation..." when I tried to launch the game it placed me back in Orgin's store like I didn't have the game.

I found a thread recommending this procedure

1. Open Origin and select My Games tab
2. Right click Battlefield 3
3. Select "Repair Install"

after a 480 sum meg download\update I'm back up and cooking wahoo
