Found this little nugget in the installlog.txt while downloading Titanfall 2
"09:27:22 Setting up uninstall data ...
09:27:22 ERROR: Failed to copy C:\Program Files\EA Games\Titanfall2\__Installer\Cleanup.exe to C:\Program Files\Common Files\EAInstaller\Titanfall2\Cleanup.exe.
09:27:22 Failed to install cleanup program
09:27:22 Installer finished with exit code: 2
09:27:22 Shutting down data reader."
I manually copied the cleanup.exe and cleanup.dat in to the folder it attempted to copy it into. Looks to be an access issue with windows. EA desktop isn't requesting the rights to copy to folder and needs admin approval (even if you run desktop in admin mode it won't request access).
Long story short, just do the copy for the damn launcher and see if that works.
@zanaifin1 Oh man, thank you so much! I just spent, no joke, probably 3 or 4 hours troubleshooting this same issue with Red Alert 2 and had tried EVERYTHING (uninstalling/reinstalling both Origin and EA App, clearing their caches, deleting any hint of RA2 in my windows registry, trying different installation directories, restarting the computer numerous times between any of these aforementioned attempted fixes, removing any hint of anti-virus/windows defender settings, any combination of the above but in administrator mode, the list goes on). I'd about given up (can't tell you how many threads like this I'd already gone through), but your fix was the one thing that did it. LEGENDARY!
