I just got a PC as well and attempted to download the EA desktop app. Same Issue, same error message. Took my PC into a computer repair place to see if it was my PC even the people there couldnt get it to download no matter what they attempted. This includes all of the recommendations from above as well as many others. I was told that it is likely EA released an update, patch or something that broke the download. Essentially its EA's fault and they currently dont seem to care to fix it.
Same issue here. New PC, unable to install, tried the methods as well. EA at its finest
I also just got a new computer, I have the Player One Computer from NZXT, it's running windows 11. I'm having the same issue with this error code 14-1632, trying to install EA in order to play Sims 4 through steam. It refused to install the EA app even after cleaning the temp files, fresh reboot.
I'd like to note I had a similar issue with trying to play Baldur's Gate on Steam, it claimed I didn't have the runtime installed in order to play, wouldn't install, looked at the files and physically saw it in there, found a application inside the folder and was then able to bypass the strange issue.
- @justdireraven verify that folder c:\windows\installer exists or not
and if doesn't exist, create it. this fixed it on my NZXT.

So go to your files window and at the bottom left side it should say like C:/ windows. These are hidden files bc they’re essential for running background stuff on your computer but Click that and essentially the file path that SHOULD exist but NZXT seems to have messed up is from there there should be a folder called “installer”. If there isn’t create a new folder and name it installer no capitals or anything. Once you do that hopefully it should work!
