Medal of honor Airborne installation failure
Today I purchased the "Medal of Honor Airborne". However, the game installation always fails.
The logs indicate following error:
21:29:31 Successfully installed PhysX-9.12.1031-SystemSoftware-Legacy.msi.
21:29:31 Finished Custom Component Install Phase for: PhysX-9.12.1031-SystemSoftware-Legacy.msi

21:29:31 Installer finished with exit code: 2

I have a modern Windows 11 PC and the "Medal of Honor Allied Assault" game that I also bought today does run. So compatibility for older games should not be an issue. I also tried usual solutions including redownloading, clearing caches, running as administrator, manually creating and copying the folder/file under local user directory etc. etc.
I wanted to manually change the referenced path (i.e. "\EA Games\Medal of Honor Airborne(tm)\Config\") but I haven't found that file.
Any idea how to solve this? Help is very much appreciated! Thanks!
Solved the problem. The installation MUST happen through running the EA app from an Administrator account. (running as Administrator, manually applying authorizations etc. does not work)
