    Ok, I figured it out. I had to install spore in my D drive. If you install it in the C drive it will not work, for some reason. This explains why it only functions off of steam because it was installed in my D drive, but steam didn't have C&C with it.

    Thanks for the help!

Hi all,

After days of wrestling with this issue I found a simple solution that worked for me and has resulted in all packs being installed correctly without having to edit the directory or search for missing files.

Simply this:

You must install each pack separately and run it before installing the next one: install, load up, run and then close it down BEFORE installing the next pack.

Running after each installation completes the installation as files and directories are still being generated by the initial run process. 

If you install everything in one go and then load up the game will have essentially skipped some important steps.

Hope that makes sense and hope it works for all those having issues.

Hi all,

I am having a similar trouble installing C&C and GA. I have tried several times uninstalling and reinstalling Spore including the EA Launcher on my new WIN 11 Home laptop (ACER Predator Helios Neo 16). I own two add-ons C&C and GA. As mentioned above, I installed Spore first, then played the game for a while and saved and closed it. Then installed C&C and at all intents I have a message telling that 0x2ec02d4c.exe was not installed successfully (-1073741819), The C&C completed the installation anyways and it was shown on the EA Launcher as owned. I tried the game again but C&C is not working. All C&C creations are locked and Spore is asking to buy the C&C add-on to unlock them. An EA advisor gave me this link and also another one (https://answers.ea.com/t5/Spore/a-redistributable-package-0x2ec02d4c-exe-was-not-installed/m-p/12279476). I followed also these instructions but I still saw the 0x2ec02d4c.exe issue and no access to C&C and GA even if they are shown as functional on the EA Launcher.

Please help me in making my Spore and add-ons fully functional.

Thank you.
