Re: EA App Install Fail Error Code INST-14-1603

I was just having this same issue, trying to download the EA app and kept getting inst 14-1603 error. I restarted my PC and tried downloading through a different browser (chrome instead of edge) worked perfectly after that! Hope this helps someone in the future.

    @Tt6tygy This one is tricky as it is typically related to Windows files. You can take a look at the link here for more info.

    You can also try the following:

    • Run as Administrator: Right-click the EA app installer and select "Run as administrator." This can help resolve permission-related issues.
    • Delete Windows Temp Folders: Sometimes, temporary files can cause issues. Press Windows Key + R, type %temp%, and delete all files in the temp folder.
    • Restart Your Computer: A simple restart can sometimes fix unexpected issues.
    • Run the Program Install and Uninstall Troubleshooter: Microsoft's troubleshooter can fix installation errors. Download it from Microsoft's website and follow the instructions
    • Repair Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables: Install/Repair your VC++ files for the game (Microsoft VC++ Link)
    • Update Windows: Ensure your operating system is up to date.
    • Create a New Windows Account: Sometimes, a new user account can bypass issues related to corrupted files or settings.
