I had the same issue and the following worked for me: I checked all the "Microsoft Visual C++..." under "Apps" and choosed "Repair" where it was available. I restarted my computer and then the installation went just fine.
I tried out every fix i found and nothing worked, then i tried just using origin again but it forces me to install the ea app which is broken? I know you dont have anything to do with this but why bring out a app which is broken and then force players to switch from a working app to a broken app.
I enjoyed ea games, played a few fifa's, Madden, a lot parts of battlefield and a few others.
But i think it's time to leave this company behind.
I mean they always was controversial with all these payable content (had the feeling it got better after time) but if they really care so less about the problems i feel like it's better to not show them any kind of support anymore.
Sadly we are not able to play ea games on steam without their * ea App.
How is it possible that this has not been resolved or even acknowledged as a massive problem. Millions of players cant access their games? Unbelievable.
Just had this happen to me today. Turned on XBox GamePass (PC) and got 3 errors (eaconnect_microsoft.exe system error type stuff)
Tried reinstalling the EA app and then got this error...
Luckily repairing the C++ things worked.
Very odd though... I went to sleep with everything working, woke up today and it had somehow broke itself.
