@C0ffeeR0cks Still happening and unfortunately the fix above did not work for me. Going to search more to try to find a solution. Why doesn't the installer work? Frustrating.

Is "Reason code = Missing DLL [MSVCP110.dll]" the exact error massage you receive?

Thanks for the question. It was, yes... The full error message was:
Invalid License: Reason Code = Missing DLL: [MSVCP110.dll] Error: 0x7F
But I have done some further troubleshooting since then based on other threads I found on here.
I found these files in the Dragon Age Inquisition \ Core directory and then copied them into the base Dragon Age Inquisition directory where the .exe file is.
msvcp100.dll
msvcp110.dll
msvcr100.dll
msvcr110.dll
That did nothing. Same error.
Then I copied the same 4 dll files into the Windows \ System32 folder. Restarted the computer and tried to launch the game. Different behavior this time. I get this error:
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).
Click OK to close the application.
But still not able to launch the game.

    Thanks again for the detailed steps, but no luck.
    Here are the troubleshooting steps I took.
    Downloaded vcRedist_x64.exe and vcRedist_x86.exe from the site you linked.
    Ran vcRedist_x64 as administrator. Gave me options to repair or uninstall. I clicked repair and let that process complete.
    Restarted.
    Ran vcRedist_x86 as administrator. Gave me options to repair or uninstall. I clicked repair and let that process complete.
    Restarted.
    Tested. Same error as last time: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).
    Then did the same steps but clicked uninstall for both. Restarted in between each update.
    Ran vcRedist_x64 as administrator.
    Installed the package.
    Restarted.
    Ran vcRedist_x86 as administrator. Gave me options to repair or uninstall (I guess since I installed the x64 version?) I cancelled out of this.
    Tested. Same issue.
    Ran vcRedist_x86 as administrator. Gave me options to repair or uninstall. I clicked repair and let that process complete.
    Restarted.
    Tested. Same issue.
