@Baksio99 Use this command in cmd as an administrator:
msiexec.exe /i "C:\pathtothemsi\EADesktop-12.0.92.4925-383.msi" /l*vx "C:\logs\EAD.log"
This will save the log of the msi in C:\logs\EAD.log and hopefully help us understand what's wrong.
msiexec: the command to use the Microsoft Installation in command line. /i means it will install the program normally, followed by the msi file dir, /l*vx logs everything that happens in the installation.
If you can, run another .msi installation to ensure that it is indeed a problem with the EA Desktop installation and not with the Microsoft Installer like it was for me. (This worked for me, but I do not take responsibility for this tool. Use it at your own discretion.)
