[Old Report] Installing the Dragon Age II DLC from the EA Help Download Site
So, the Dragon Age II DLC are not available to be purchased via Steam or EA App.
Instead, there is this official EA Help Site, published January 2023, offering the DLC for various older EA owned games to download:

The downloads are all .exe files. However, running the .exe files gives me an error saying that "Dragon Age 2 needs to be installed first" which it obviously is.
So I am guessing the .exe cannot find the game directory. I tried running it from various different folders, such as directly from inside the DA2 directory but to no avail.
I've been through this with official EA support for weeks now, endless mails and chats, and they do not seem to even understand what I am saying.
EA offers these files on their own site and they do not work. Someone will have published them there. Someone will know what to edit to make them work.
Anyone know what to do about this?
Any of you found an tried this ? It's what fixed it for me https://answers.ea.com/t5/Other-Dragon-Age-Games/DLC-Won-t-Install-Because-DA2-Not-Installed-on-C/m-p/4114346#M23861
