I can imagine that there are multiple reasons why the EA requires to be installed in folder that (in some cases) require admin rights in order to access them. Maybe you can take a look at your UAC (User Account Control) as a workaround?
Thanks for the feedback nonetheless. 🙂

Hello,
changing UAC settings is no option. Think about an computer where the child has different time and content limitations. When they get admin rights or something like that, they are able to change program installations or system limitations.
I think it must be possible to make an installation to a folder that is prepared with full access for a normal windows user without any question after admin rights.
Later installations of games may require additional components that can only be installed with administrator rights, but the app and gameprogram files and source data should be placed in one folder and updated there without having to enter additional administrator rights.
- EA_Leeuw@nikx_silence, appriciate the feedback! 🙂
Video games and the software used to install them should not require admin rights. I don't care what "reasons" the corporate master pulling your leash tells you they have, they do not need admin rights. Fix it.
- EA_Leeuw@MindlessProton, appreciate the feedback as well. But there doesn't seem to be anything here that's broken or not working as intended/designed, therefore I'm confused about what needs to be fixed? Something can't be fixed if it isn't broken. However, things can (and will, in some situations) be changed, that's the exact reason we're always looking for feedback. 🙂
