Hi! I had this issue too, I had to uninstall absolutely everything. Go through everything and uninstall anything EA related. Then redownload. I hope this works for you! You may have to redownload any games you had.
Had this happen to me today too. The new EA App absolutely sucks! When you say install are you also referring to all games and the EA folders of stored games? I want to make sure I get all the EA software off so I can try and reinstall this stupid app.
this worked, thanks
just a shame I now have to redownload all the 80GB of Battlefield 1
I was getting the error while trying to install only the app but I still had 2 games installed from before I did the initial uninstall of everything
they were saved on C:\Program Files\EA Games
I uninstalled both of them from settings on my pc, tried the install after that and worked fine
if im a modder should i backup my mods?
It wouldn't hurt to backup your saves and mods, in case you go to uninstall/reinstall the EA App and it decides to take your games and files with it.
definitely back up your mods, along with your saves, tray(gallery items), screenshots and recorded videos. 🙂
also remember to back up mod settings that aren't in the mod folder, some of them do that
