What do you expect to see? The option to uninstall the software. The Installer doesn't have a "repair" option either.
This just straight up sucks. The installer detects an installation even when you manually go to the program files and delete them, as well as deleting the appdata and program data...
Solved! Go to Solution.

The uninstall option is present on my system.
I would suggest to use Revo uninstaller.
If Revo also can't find the program I would suggest to clean the Registry with "CCleaner".

If using the steps in the replies above doesn't fix your issue, launch Registry Editor and type Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts into the bar at the top of the window. Inside this folder are some files hidden from file explorer, simply delete the EA Desktop folder.
