Thanks but doesn't work for me. Set the local.xml to read only even... When you open origin it removes the read only and removes the line we added. The popup comes up about install EA app. There is no x or "cross" to close it.

Also the C:\ProgramData\Origin doesn't have "OriginThinSetupInternal.exe"
I searched my drive and found a 3rd "OriginThinSetupInternal.exe" located in C:\users\(profile name)\AppData\Local\Origin\ThinSetup\10.5.122.52971

But even deleting that etc still no go.

You must follow the procedure described! You still have the latest new version forcing the APP. Follow ALL the procedure described and ONLY use the old version of Origin (10.5.119).
