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.
@RockHardSemi07didn't work for me cuz I ran into another error trying to play anything at all. EA should reimburse everybody for pushing this onto us after creating it with bugs. That means they didn't test it thoroughly with various configurations. I'm so tired of software companies using users as Beta sites when we don't have the tools to go back if they screw up this badly. UGH
@ovie2 Pardon? Who is talking about Steam or Win7? I don't work for EA or this forum. 🙂 I'm just a gamer like you.
