HELP with EA Needed

[Googer]

I just downloaded Northern Strike from EA via the EA Link utility, I want to know where the downloads are saved so that I can burn them to CD for Archival Purposes.

Why not use the search function built into XP?

Because I have no idea what the file is named. For all I know it could be 0bff136aat5j.exe

Just use the game name. It's most likely in a folder with a readme file with the game's name all over it.

When I downloaded a Ubisoft patch for R6: Vegas the name had nothing to do with the game name, and readme's are often called readme.txt

Why dont you go try to download it again and see what it has as the default location for the download.

ea link, stores the downloaded files in the ea link folder. Whatever drive and folder you installed ea link too, check that folder out.

so it should be somethen like

"c:\program files\ea link" and then just look through it until you find the files you are looking for.

I cannot even remember where I chose such a folder.

EA now requires people to use a proprietary download client. With out it you cannot get most of what EA has to offer.

No not really. More like a download app similar to star downloader.

Did you search by date modified?

look in c:\program files\ea link folder, all downloads are stored in that folder somewhere. Just keep right clicking on the folders, going to properties, and see which folder is taking up a good amount of space. Then that'll be the folder, that has all of the ea link game downloads in it.

Good point. I will search for a *.msi or *.exe by date.

I will try that too and let every one know where I may have found it.

I found it, it's called Setup.exe! And it was stored in C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Link\cache\{ ********** }\bf2142_bp1
