FIFA 20 installation error
I've been trying to get FIFA20 running on my PC (Windows 10 Education N, v1903) via Origin for the past 2 days. Origin seems to download and install the game succesfully, but when it runs the game it just pops up with an error message: "Something went wrong during installation of the game. Please reinstall the game and try again." and then shows the game launch/configuration window.
I've already reinstalled Origin and FIFA20 and tried doit all with firewall/antivirus-software turned off and still can't get it working. What I also tested, was to install the game on my laptop (which unfortunately doesn't have the performance to run the game) -> it worked perfectly. I then tried to copy paste the FIFA20 intallation from my laptop to my PC, but then I got the same error message again.
So... what the hell is the problem? Why can't I run the game on my primary PC? I'm really fed up with this situation because I've paid for the game and then spent 2 evenings trying to get it working and still it won't work.

I did think of the windows version as well but the version you have just removes some of the media playback capabilities like removing media player, skype etc. While the game does have in game videos its weird that the game doesnt install properly for you at all. If it were the media play back being an issue the game should still start and instead crash/freeze at the first video but you never know.
If it is the lack of media capabilities try to install this first:

It basically installs all the features that is removed in your windows version
Also could you try to make a new folder instead of using any windows standard folders and move the game there? My documents is also a windows a folder which may suffer from access limitations on some systems.
