Re: Origin is not saving my installers

Okay you could try following workaround:

Here's a workaround for moving your downloaded/installed game to another computer:
1. Allow Origin to fully download and install your game.
2. Copy the entire game directory.

Now you have basically three options. A: Transfer these files to the other computer over your home network. B: Transfer to a USB key that has enough space then transfer to the other computer. C: Burn files onto a dual layer DVD (This option requires a special drive and space is limited so you may need to span the files across two discs).

3. Once the files are on the other computer in the directory where you normally install your games, navigate to the directory called "__Installer\DISK1".
4. Find the EASetup.exe file and run it.

Running this file should create the proper registry keys you need for the game to be detected and launch properly from EADM.

Cheers

    Thanks. I'll do that.

    Although I've marked it as a solution, it's not the ideal one - the Origin program actually saving the installations, as it should do, is the one I'd really like!
