Dazip not working

FIrst post here:

http://answers.ea.com/t5/Origin/Reinstalling-windows-7/m-p/4307256#M119827

Just downloaded it last night while i was sleeping.  As I thought I lost all downloaded stuff and saved games.

The problem now is when I install a mod using the dazip utility in the DA folder, the 2nd bar hangs and the very end (1-2%) and gets stuck.

Having just spent 18 hours yesterday doing a clean install I'm pretty sure everything is fine.  The game runs.

This the best way I've found to post system specs.  If you answer and can tell me a better way to get the infor you need, just tell me how you want in and the easiest way to get it.  I'm not computer illiiterate, but it's been a few years since I've had to work on one given I did such a good job building this one.

    Update:  I'm not looking for sympathy, a pity party, or whatever else.

    Ive just spent 10 days of the last 15 in the hospital due to extreme blood clots in leg.  Blood tests from yesterday dont look good and I'll probably be going back.  I'd just like to get some stuff fixed before I'm in the hospital being treated like a number/2nd rate patient/* before I probably have to check back in.. The only thing i have to get my mind off * is being able to play my games.

    Please, any help would be great.

    I just updated my bios (somethnig I wouldn't ordinarily do) and I'm still having problem with RAM timings, XMP staying where I put it, and a slew of other *.

    I'll gladly tell you anything I can, and if I don;t know how to give the info you need, I like to think I'm moderately smart and can figure it out with a bit of guidance.

    Thanks in advance (and another big thank you will come if you can help me with any/all problems I'm having).

    No answers forthcomnig yet so I've decided to delete everying having to do with Dragon Age1, reinstall from download, and see if anything changes.  I'll repost with info in a few hours if I find out something in hopes that maybe it can help someone else.

    If you still have any info to share, please do so.  Gratitude is all I can offer.

    Still no good after deleting and reinstall.  Dazip gets up with 1-2% left.

    Had to dig my old discs out and do it that way, still ran into multiple problems (like the install not recognizing the bonus stuf from the ultimate edition), but after a few hours I"m almost ready to start over from the beginning.

    Hope you have your discs if you like this game and ever have to do a windows reinstall.

    Klorance -- 

    It sounds as though you have really had an awful time of it.  I can completely relate, and have delt with distracting myself from nasty DVT medical treatments through gaming also.  It really is aggrivating when you are trying to get something to work and it just sticks.  

    You said when you are installing mods -- I am thinking you mean fan-created mods?  If that is the case, I have found that some of the mods I have come to know and love (and have downloaded from various sites) have files that are missing from the .dazip file that the native installer needs in order to figure out what to do with the mod, and if the file is missing, it will either terminate with an error, or if the file is damaged or incorrectly formatted, the installer will simply hang forever until I terminate it.  

    The only way I have found to install such mods (and yes, I have done it for a couple that I've really enjoyed) is to unzip the .dazip file using a tool like 7-zip and either find the manifest file that includes the mod info that needs to be added to addins.xml then unzip it into the addons directory and manually add the information to the addins.xml file (the hard way) or - to extract the mod into a folder in my \\documents\bioware\dragon age\packages\core\override\ folder and delete the manifiest file if it exists.  Either way has worked for me.  A third option is to do a search for a third party mod installer tool (there are a couple of pretty good fan-created ones available) and let that tool make the changes for you.  

    Personally, for simplicity's sake what I generally do these days is take the override route - it has the additional benefit of NOT having the mod listed as required DLC in the savegame, and then if the mod does something weird or fails to work, I can then remove it and reload without having to tell the game to Force Load my save and mess up heaven knows what.

    I hope this helps, and I wish you luck both with your game and your medical treatments.
