    Hey all, if seeing this issue you can generally fix it by starting to download any free EA game such as Apex Legends. Once the download has started stop it and then try your other games.

Can't install games via EA desktop

It's says:

"Unable to install There was a slight hiccup and we couldn’t finish installing Game Name Unavailable. Restart your PC and try again."

Finally, i find my solution:

Change install folder to your harddisk's main partition , problem solved.

My PC has 2 harddisk, separate C D E F G H.

C G H are main partition,D E F are logic partition.

When install folder set to DEF, 100% install fail.

If you don't konw which is main partition, try install in C, see if it would work.

Hope EA can fix it !

      I changed the install folder to another Hard Disk drive. I changed it to the main partition, i cleared the caches, i reinstalled EA desktop and more...

      I can't install Command and Conquer Remastered Collection and i become the errormessage with the "hiccup"...

      On origin i have no permission to this game or i have to buy it... (Xbox Gamepass only)

        Hi.

        I think there is no solution.

        I have this Problem with several Systems.
