EA App INST Errors When Installing

Yes, I've done all of the above. I've also done the repairing of the Microsoft C++ redistributables, updating the graphic settings (english is not my first language, I hope I'm calling it correctly), and similar solutions other users had advised in this thread.
Every time the installation bar gets stuck at the same place and, after a while, it tells me the same error: INST-14-1460.

@DomArgo I am sorry to hear that this has been a frustrating experience for you. I can certainly understand after months of not being able to, there has been no resolution. I would like to ask a few questions If I can. When a player says they have done "everything" that is too vague for us and we need specifics as sometimes there have been steps not performed.

Have you tried the following?

• Put your device in a Clean Boot then launch the game
• Try Safe Mode with Networking
• Try a new Windows Account
• If using VPN, turned it off
• turn off or disable any Antivirus or security program?

If yes, when you do these and try to install, are you getting a different error or the same error?

Typically when a folder isn't there that should be, it is either being sent somewhere else or some type of permission is not being given on your computer. That is an entirely different set of steps to follow.

I'm getting desperate here, I've tried everything in this thread multiple times, touching things in my pc so deep that it's starting to give me problems, and that's not ok. I now have a pop-up everytime I restart it, and I can't even understand where it comes from. And yes, I followed the instructions to the letter (and I have a bit of education in IT, so I don't even imagine what mess I could've caused if I was a base user, the people the installation should be catered toward).

I can't even do the ever requested "EA App Error Report ID" because the folder "Eletronic Arts" of "C:\Users\[Your computer name]\AppData\Local\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\Logs" only has a "EA services" folder, and no "Logs" inside it. Even that is not done well!

I haven't been able to install this app for 3 months, always getting the INST-14-1460 error, and soon I won't have as much free time to enjoy them as I have now, so it especially frustrating.

No resolution of a months old problem from EA, no responses, no alternative way to play them, no refund available! How has no one yet sued this company is a wonder to me.

Seriously, I can understand having a problem you can't yet fix, but you can ask me to have patience for a few days, not for MONTHS. At that point you need to at least give us an alternative, like Origin back? I don't care if it costs you money, or work, or whatever. You need to take responsibility for things like this, is so basic I can't even understand how it's possible it's happening.

@norwegiancat There are many ways other players have fixed this. We suggest please go through this thread and test out the steps that we and other players have listed to fix it and see if they work for you.

cant instal the app

This is indeed a tough one because of the number of steps that have fixed the issue for players but not all. Another thing that makes it tough is that without those specific error reports from each player, there are no logs to review to see why you are getting different errors like this.

As for any troubleshooting goes, because of the steps that do work, this leads us to believe that it is either network-related or permissions related for Windows or the network settings on the PC.

If turning off a VPN or Proxy works, that is a network issue. If a new Windows Admin account works, it's a permissions issue with Windows/Firewall/Antivirus.  Since every PC is different, it could be 50 different things causing it to happen.
