Summarize your bug Can't install EA Desktop.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? When try to install EA Desktop.
What happens when the bug occurs? Shows an error (no error codes) "Can not install to Origin folder"
What do you expect to see? I expect to install successfully and play games! I've try to install via XBOX app and also tried installer from EA. Both shows same error and can not install EA Desktop. I restart my PC , turn off antivirus , create new folders and run as administrator but all these steps doesn't help me.
Can not install to Origin folder
- @ErgunMert1 Same problem here.
I've managed to download the "EADesktopInstaller.exe" but when I launch it (double click or with the "Run as administrator"), nothing happens. The cursor shows the little hourglass for a few seconds and then goes back to normal state.
If I then check the processes, I can see that there are 2 EADesktopInstaller process currently running, but there are no open windows to actually perform the installation.
I've tried to launch it from many locations, including inside an "Electronic Arts" folder, but nothing worked so far... Same Problem ........................................
I want to install the app but when it comes to Download nothing happens
Try what MrRooTMe said on this post (https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports-Technical-Issues/EA-Desktop-Installer-Doesn-t-Start/m-p/9805968#M705). I tried that and worked. Little sidenote: The app integration have so many bugs... try to link accounts before you click to install anygame.
I solved this problem.
get EA Desktop msi installer from this topic
after install if you can not link your account with XBOX GAME PASS...
try to login with your "xbox account" at https://help.ea.com/
if can't install game...
restart your PC it might works.
- @Silversnowz Hey, thank's! It worked!
What I did:
1. installed the .msi downloaded from the link;
2. opened my Xbox app and clicked to open the EA Play;
3. He asked my EA credentials;
4. Running fine EA Play and installing games!
Thank you very mutch. Hi. What did you do exactly that your application runs properly? I have the same issue.
Same for me: I successfully installed EADesktop using the link in the xml. But now nothing happens when i start EADesktop. Did you do something to make it work ?

- @gamertur Hi I have the same problem as you and I did what did MrRoot said. I can see Ea Desktop app on my screen but when I clicked it nothing happens. I tried many times and at my task manager there is Ea Background Service but nothing has happened. What should I do
