Re: DirectX error when trying to install Dragon Age 2

As a first step, I would suggest reinstalling DirectX. And you can already find the needed file on your PC 🙂

Please go to: Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age II\__Installer\directx\redist\dxsetup.exe

Since you're using Windows 10, you can also try to run Origin and the game as admin and use the compatibility mode for older OS.

Let me know how it's going!

Sorry, none of those worked, attempting to reinstall Direct X just gives me the same error cropping up, and I cannot find how to activate Admin or compatibility , the paths you describe just don't exist, maybe I'm doing it wrong - bear in mind I'm a total newb when it comes to technology. I think I'm already set as Administrator anyway. The problem isn't just with DA2 though, it seems to afflict other games too. SO FRUSTRATING!!!
