Battlefield Anti-cheat refuses to install
- 2 days ago
After trying several solutions for an hour and a half, the problem was finally resolved.
Here are the steps that were taken :
Complete restoration of EA Anticheat (With a file from my own PC to force the uninstallation of EAAantiCheat)
I tried the manual method, but it didn't work, so I did everything using the repair tool.
EAAntiCheat.GameService.dll
EAAntiCheat.GameService.exe
EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe
---------------------------------
- RESULT BEFORE RESTORATION -
Event log -> Failed retrieving service path
EAAntiCheat.exe ->
ResourceExtract failed:1113
Install failed:701
-------------------------------
Forcing activation of the EAAntiCheat service
(I didn't need to uninstall it because it wouldn't install with the user files)sc create EAAntiCheatService binPath= "C:\Program Files\EA\AC\EAAntiCheat.GameService.exe" start= auto
Testing :
sc start EAAntiCheatService sc query EAAntiCheatService
After that launch EAAntiCheat.Installer to uninstall completely

Event log -> No more error
