Re: Can't install EA Desktop App

★★★ Newbie

I am unable to reinstall EA Desktop after removing Origin. 

 

 

I used a tool called Revo Uninstaller to remove Origin after I downloaded EA Desktop.  Looks like Revo removed some of the EA Desktop files along the way.  Now when I try to run the installer for EA Desktop again, I get a message that says the program is already installed.  I have triple checked my computer and cannot find any files associated with either EA Desktop or Origin.  Unsure how to proceed here. :\

Revo does not recognise EA Desktop as installed anymore?

 

  • Clean the Registry with "CCleaner" (Freeware version.)
  • Reboot  > Test.

I was able to get the program to reinstall by removed the following Registry key:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Electronic Arts

I had to relog into my old account just to thank you for this. This is what fixed the issue.

@Kouryu89 Thanks for posting your solution! Had the same problem and couldn't find any help on it. Deleted that registry key and a couple other EA reg entries and it worked for me. Wouldn't have figured it out on my own, much appreciated Standard smile

@ManakuraThanks for your help too! At first I only deleted that one folder @Kouryu89 mentioned and I still had the same problem where EA Desktop thinks it's still installed when I try running the Installer. I deleted the Origin Games registry key and a couple other EA related registries and it worked after running the EA Desktop Installer. Downloading Battlefront II now.
