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.
Community ManagerThanks Manuel012387,
In my case the location of those .cab files is this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Deadspace\__Installer\DISK1\DirectX
I however, did not get the game from the On The House offer so your location may be the correct one. Either way, the idea here is to delete potentially corrupt DirectX .cab files and have the installer replace them.
Manuel, thank you. That did the trick.
i dont understand im using vista but there isnt any of those things in my direcx folder of X84 and X64 things
Community ManagerHey, what do you see in the paths that I and Manuel012387 have posted.
yep erasing all except for
1. DXSETUP.exe
2. DSETUP.dll
3. dsetup32.dll
did the trick it work thank you very much Manuel012387 !!

Thanks buddy, fix still works after 5 years!:eahigh_file:
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.
@franckaera51Manuel012387 This dosent work for me it keeps redownloading the files everytime I try to finish the installment and goes back to directx internla error
