Can you post the contents of your log?
The one you linked to ran into the error
E_FAIL Unspecified failure 0x80004005
from GameExplorerInstall
Which is rather unhelpful.
Most commonly this is a permissions thing. Do you have administrative privileges while installing?
Are there system folders your user account does not have read/write/execute privileges to?
From my original log, here is the excerpt from the GDF section:

Hi I don't think I need the install log anymore I reinstalled from the disc completely, and the "play" button pops up, but it said the first time that "64bit windows is not supported please contact EA for help" or something of the sort now whenever I attempt to launch it just has a message telling me syncing with cloud, and then it looks like its loading then nothing happens and just like "install" before it does nothing.
