Re: DA:O Ultimate Edition (Steam) - DLC not installing.

On the Bioware Social Network, I found these instructions for installing DLC (the DLC I tested was Witchcraft).

To access your content on the PC, please ensure you log in with the same account you used while redeeming this code on the social website. Once you have done this, your content will automatically start downloading the next time you log in with this account in-game.

If the content does not start downloading automatically in the game, please follow these steps:

1. Right click on the link below and select "Save Target As", or the equivalent in your browser. Save the .dazip file to your computer. If your browser tries to rename it to a .zip file, rename it back to .dazip after download.
2. Find the daupdater.exe application. It is usually located under \bin_ship in your Dragon Age folder (for example C:\Program Files\Dragon Age\bin_ship\daupdater.exe). Double click on it to open it.
3. Click on "Select DAZIPs". Navigate to where you have saved the .dazip file and open it.
4. Now the .dazip file will appear on the Install tab. Select it on the list and click "Install Selected."

I ran the daupdater, downloaded the dazip and ran it through the daupdater...Another Error. This is the result...
