Hey buddy, I had the same problem. It happens with a couple of EA games. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Dead Space\__Installer\directx\redist and erase every other file EXCEPT for:

1. DXSETUP.exe

2. DSETUP.dll

3. dsetup32.dll

Then run the installer once again. Good Luck.

    Yep, just came here for this problem and solved it by deleting those files. Would be nice if someone on the Origin side would fix it, but that seems kind of unlikely given how long this has been an issue.
