I cant download the EA App.

Question

No matter what I do I can't seem to download the EA app, I was fine using Origin until recently when it forced me off to download the EA desktop app however everytime I try to download it

it says something went wrong even when I tried the msi app it says '' verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services '' I tried every youtube tutorial, looked through every thread I tried updating my Microsoft Visual C++ nothing works and I don't know what to do please help. I just want to play the sims.

Stop origin client loading EA app message;

1. Open C:\ProgramData\Origin\local.xml in notepad
2. Add new key there:

This should go at bottom just above the last line which is "</Settings>."
Save the file and exit. Now launch Origin and that stupid notice will be gone.
Congrats...you can now play your games properly.

Also, set Origin settings to not automatically update. You can manually update games from in the library if you think there's an update you need for it.

Workaround for origin in the meantime unitl fix.
