Re: EA App Install Error - INST-14-1601

So we were having the same exact issue. We were able to fix it by:

1. Going to Control Panel

2. Programs and Features

3. Uninstall EVERY SINGLE Microsoft C++ Redistributable

4. Download EA App installer DONT RUN YET

5. go to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170 and download appropriate architecture of latest C++ 

6. Install the C++ Package

7. Go to Local Disk/Program Files/ Electronic Arts AND DELETE THE ENTIRE ELECTRONIC ARTS FOLDER

8. Restart Computer

9. Install EA App

10. Profit
