Recommended Posts

"Cannot write to target directory " C:\program file (x86)\EA games\earth & beyond".
Please start this application with administrative rights on or give write permission for the target directory before starting the update process . "

Right click our launcher and run as admin, User Account Control (UAC) is protecting you from yourself. (prevents things from being written to Program Files as a result of a program execution & also to registry)
