I wish those instructions were more specific too. Maybe I am putting the files in the incorrect folder? Thanks much for answering at all! xo

@cosmoblivion; You should NOT put any of the files downloaded from the "Legacy DLC" site into any of your games' folders. They should go some/anywhere else.

I use a separate storage drive for my downloads. You decide what works for you.

All of the ".exe" files should simply be run. They'll install themselves.
All of the ".dazip" files should be installed with the built-in utility program "DAUpdater.exe", which can be found in the game's "\bin_ship" folder.
(On my rig that would be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age\bin_ship", YMMV. 😎 )
