The EA Download Manager (EADM) was really the predecessor to Origin. If you do manage to get the EADM reinstalled, it will do everything it can to update itself to Origin anyway. It is not a requirement to have it and for those doing retail disc reinstalls with no intention of using Origin, we have always advised against agreeing to it when offered.
If the intention is to have an Origin controlled game, then the discs aren't necessary anyway and there shouldn't be any EADM offers coming along.
