Hello Community, So, to make it...relatively short. I recently bought and installed DA:I, however, every time I try to start the game it says the following: "Invalid License. Reason Code= missing D...

Hello.
Update:
Had a talk with support, they advised to delete game, delete Origin and then install Origin and DAI. Done that (13 hours to download ☹️ ) - did not help.
Search continues.
Hello guys.
Managed to start the game.
Steps taken to fix (not sure if all are required, starting from most possible fix):
1. Copy MSVCP110.DLL and MSVCR110.DLL from "\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\Core\" to "\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\". Those DLLs should be in the same folder as DragonAgeInquisition.exe file. Try to launch the game. If doesn't work, check next point.
2. Open regedit (smart thing to do is to backup your registry at this moment) and make a search for all entries containing "msvcp" and "msvcr" string. Look for entries that define location of those DLLs, but have a mistake in them: instead of "C:\", path is written as "C?\". Change those entries so they have "C:\". Mind, there is a way to do it automatically, but use that method on your own risk.
Would be nice if someone with this problem can check above points and give feedback. Hope it helps.
The first step fixed the problem for me. Thank you dude!

Hello everyone!
First of all, @mlleyr, thanks for the guide, it really helped! However, I'd like to add a few words:
That first step was useful, but in my case it wasn't quite enough.

For me, the next step was to copy the same DLLs (actually, all four of those - MSVCP110.DLL, MSVCR110.DLL, MSVCP100.DLL and MSVCR100.DLL) to "\Program Files (x86)\Origin", same folder as Origin.exe file. Then you might try to launch that file. The Origin might try to download the update. If it works - great, if it doesn't, proceed to the next step.
Step 3 was to copy those same four DLLs to the system folder, though I didn't have to edit the registry, probably the program doesn't try to launch the libraries from that folder, it just checks thei ravailability. Then try to run Origin.exe again. It should wok now, maybe after an update, though.
I really hope this would be helpful, if only a little 😳
First step worked for me as well. Thank you!
- The First one works! Thx!!!
- @mlleyr thank you savior! 1st step worked for me.
You're the best, dude. Step 1 worked like a charm. 🙂
As someone struggling with this exact issue in 2022 and having spent several hours... this finally worked lol. Thank you
