Re: EA app not giving a download directory

@GlobalWarmer101 @zephxea and @T0RN_x (and anyone else who wants to test)  Does it help to run the EA App as an admin?  I don't mean just using it in an admin Windows account; you'd need to right-click the desktop shortcut and select "Run as administrator."  Please let me know both whether you still get the "something went wrong" error and whether the install location still has an extra backslash.

For anyone reading who hasn't tried the other suggestions in this thread, please also try changing the install location to a new folder you create specifically for this purpose.  It should be on the root level of the drive of your choice, for example C:\Games, but not C:\Program Files\Games.

Nope, also doesn't work on "run as admininstrator", it still adds another backslash. :o

Yep. I tried running it as administrator. I even tried reinstalling the EA by running the installer as administrator, and that still didn't do anything. Gonna keep floating by here until the problem is resolved.

Yeah. I've even contact EA help about it to see if they could give me any info. I did this the first day I posted in here, and I still haven't heard anything back. They don't seem to care, but can't say I'm surprised.
