Small addition that can be useful for many.
The original "OriginSetup.exe" version 10.5.119 file, in addition to the MD5 posted above, weighs a good 233,656 KB (228 MB or 239,263,472 bytes).
The file MUST be the COMPLETE one, as well as the "old" one, otherwise it will necessarily require to be "completed" and will download the new version on the net which is NOT good.
If you don't find the right and complete one, contact me, I'll send it to you.

I tried several of the the complete older versions and despite unchecking all the boxes it gives the installer still automatically downloaded/installed the newest 10.5.122 version.
To solve it:
Disconnect from internet and then go through the instructions a couple posts back (if this was in the instructions or an earlier post I missed it).
To all else wondering if this is your problem:
You can verify that is what it is doing by going to your install folder and either hovering over the Origin exe and checking the File Version or right clicking -> Properties -> Details and seeing the version there. Anything higher than 10.5.119 and this is your problem.
It has been MONTHS since this issue started - December 2022 - and EA has done absolutely nothing to even acknowledge it.
I think the only way to get their attention is for each of us to WRITE A NEW TOPIC POST with the title "EA App DOESN'T INSTALL. BRING BACK THE ORIGIN LAUNCHER!" so that this website gets FLOODED with COMPLAINTS listed on and on and on.
