The same happens when you install EA Desktop on the C:\ drive @PFindersDomain.

WHY the extra folder is in there, that I do not know, but I'm pretty sure that there is a logic behind it.

Any specific reason why you are raising this, as in it's causing issues, or just curious?

This basic issue was reported more than a year ago.

Can we get an update on when it will get fixed?

The reason for the eadesktop double install folder is that when ea app updates it creates a new folder with name outdatedeadesktop.
Please see my photo.
So it seems to me that it is a limitation. With one only install folder, where it will install the outdatedeadesktop folder when ea updates.

  Presumably the "outdatedeadesktop" folder could go somewhere else (perhaps into C:\ProgramData\EA Desktop?) and only be revived if necessary.

  As a developer myself, its simple, it is * coding by the developer.
