    That didn't work either, but I did manage to get it to work. I had to open task manager while it was attempting to download where I noticed it said EA Installer (32) 2. So I expanded where I noticed 2 identical tasks and closed one. It still didn't download right away, but upon restarting my computer, the EA Installer popped up at start up and did download finally.

A different connection like a data connection from your phone, to connect your PC to the internet, rather than your normal connection from your modem/router.
