@polskirosjanin1 MSI Files usually doesnt do what a normal installer does, EA might want to add additional registery files for windows and makes it, or let the player customized it much better, also terms of usage inside the normal installer and not in the MSI version. theres plenty of reasons why. it up to EA to configure the installer as they like.

overall MSI files just boring but does the trick

You wanna say that MSI files has got more priviliges when we talk about system, am I right? I understand that normal installers has got many restrictions from system, so these can't make any bigger changes like registry configuration, which are often made by apps just for users comfort with no manual linking paths. Moreover, many programs and apps needs access for system files that are restricted, so normal installer would be just blocked and couldn't install needed for it's functionality files and resources. Honestly, I should have knew that, I had always thought that MSI files are just another type of installer files, but as I see now these have a bigger role. Thanks for explanation.

@XxGabin971xX Thank you, this still isn't fixed today. With your workaround the installation worked, but now the app is crashing on start. This looks like a hot pile of garbage..

Same here. Re-installed the app today and after opening get nothing. Maybe a big update due to the GamePass integration?

After manually deleting EA Desktop's files, the app won't reinstall because it thinks it is still installed on the computer leading to the "EA Desktop is already installed" message. Clicking "Launch EA Desktop" will simply close the installer and nothing will happen. Even after using a 3rd party uninstaller like Revo Uninstaller, the installer will still say that EA Desktop is already installed.
