Every time I try to install it, it gives me this screen
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.
@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.
All,
.net framework 4.6.1 is a minimum requirement for EA App on windows 7, but 4.8 will also install on windows 7 sp1 and resolve installation issues.

The EA App requires .NET Framework 4.6.1 or later to be installed on the system.
I have literally tried every single option on every post in the forums just to download the EA App and NOTHING works. I have been doing this for over a year now hoping that it would get fixed but apparently its not a big enough issue for it to be fixed. Origin worked fine but now I cannot even revert back to it because its just now gone and regardless of any help I have gotten thus far, I still have not even gotten any closer to getting it to even start the install. I have gotten every single error code for the app to pop up just by literally trying to install it over and over again. The most frequent errors that pop up are Error Code: INST-21-32 & Error Code: INST-21-577.
I tried the link for the EA Desktop but you need Windows 8.1 to install it and sadly I'm using Windows 7 64-bit which is even harder because every help I get is for Windows 10 despite me avidly saying that I have a Windows 7 and just getting ignored because of it.
EA App needs to be fixed so anyone can install it without issues or just revert back to using Origin since that does not have any issues and anyone can install it.
Still no joy; still can't install the EA App. Currently tryingh to get the Powershell fix listed above to work but no luck as yet. (Windows 11, not a Chromebook, EA Help / emails no help whatsoever and so forth).
Somewhat sad that last year when people reported that "Origin is still working" seems to have been accepted as a "solution".
