EA Downloader Problem

[Somerville]

Hey,

I've had EA Downloader for ages now, I bought Special Forces when it first came out via EA Downloader. As per the norm, it attempted to update itself, seemingly without a hitch.

However..

Once it 'finished' the install, it came up with the error message: "This is already installed. Would you like to reinstall anyway?", allowing me to reinstall or cancel the installation. "Okay", I thought, "No problem - I'll just try again".

No luck..

So the main point here is, I can't access my EA Downloader. Bit of a problem considering it's:

1. The easiest way to get the next patch
2. The only way to get the Euro Forces pack - if EA wants me to part with the cash, I need to be able to get the product!

Any ideas anyone? I don't want to uninstall as I'll lose Special Forces, and have to pay for it again (which clearly, I don't want to do).

Re: EA Downloader Problem

Why would you have to pay for it again?? The download is tied to the account you purchased through, can't you just download it again??

Also you can just save the files already downloaded and install from there or burn it to a DVD and install from it.

Look in this thread how to burn it to DVD:

Maybe read the whole thread to get it in context.


You can also try manually uninstalling EA Downloader, this from EA Xustomer Support:
