EA app won't install as of recently, gives error inst-3-1920 at the end of the installation. Tried the following:
- Running installer as Admin
- Removed files in %TEMP%
- Updated DirectX and MS Visual C++
- Removed all old EA and Origin files in ProgramData, Program Files, and App Data.
- Restarting PC after every steps above
- Ran sfc
- Check multiple videos and forums, no solution. Some claimed it was temp issue, but that was 2 YEARS AGO.
Pls help.
i have the same issue please help
but what means the error code inst-21-25006?
thanks this worked for me.
Any ideas as to why INST-14-1627 and INST-21-25005 occur?
EA_Poppy I'm so upset about this issue being caused because some of us have chosen to stick with Windows 7 because I simply cannot afford to buy another computer. I have hundreds of dollars invested in my EA games and thousands of hours in game-play because Sims 3 is what I choose to play. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't leave us Win7 users out in the cold after being such loyal customers for decades! I love my games and want to be able to play what I paid for. Everything was fine with my game until today when the EA app said it needed to update, so I let it update and now I'm getting the (error code: INST-21-25006) error when trying to run the EA app. I've cleaned up the old installation folders and tried reinstalling but now the installation just hangs and doesn't complete. I have paid for every single expansion, and all but one stuff pack, and bought everything there was to buy from the Sims 3 store, so a LOT of money is invested here. PLEASE HELP US!! I miss my Sims 3 terribly and just want to be able to play! PLEASE PLEASE HELP!
