EA App can't install

I cant do this anymore.

I bought Battlefield 1 off of Steam and now i need to install the EA App. I downloaded the Installer pressed "install". Now the Download Progress stays stuck at 0. I tried literally everything. Here is a list of things i tried:

  • Chaning UAC Controls
  • Windows Firewall Exception
  • Windows Defender Exception, aswell as turning it off completely
  • Deleted everything in the Registry that was connected to the EA app in any way possible
  • Tried to download it on a different drive (I only use SSDs)
  • Tried installing it in Safe Mode
  • Tried Compatability Settings for every OS under the planet
  • Tried running as Admin
  • Cleared every file in temp, aswell as every file in any of my drives connected to the installer
  • re-downloaded the installer
  • Creating a new User just for the Sake of installing it and it still doesnt work

I saw something about the EA App msi, but i couldnt find a download to that. I never had Origin installed, as this is a fresh Install of Windows. There was one time where the Progress went further, to about 60% but

Is there someone out there with a solution? If you need more information, i can provide it.

  • I am an existing user and today during start of the client it wanted to update and was stuck and crashed after some time , reinstall does not continue with download . This must be an issue with EA servers , i hope they will fix it soon since i want to play during weekend.

    I actually fixed it. When looking through the logs, The App installer connects to a website and tries to download the actual files needed in order to properly install the App:

    https://origin-a.akamaihd.net/EA-Desktop-Client-Download/installer-releases/EAapp-13.335.0.5848-3370.msi

    I connected to a VPN near the location of this website and entered the link into my webbrowser. Without a VPN i had really bad download speeds. After installing the file i executed it and it just simply installed. Idk why they cant just provide the .msi file...
