I have Dragon Age 2 on Origin. The texture pack installer (downloaded from Bioware's Dragon Age 2 patches site) says I don't have the game installed. Played the game for a couple hours with no other problems and other DLCs I got through Origin work just fine.

In EA Origin when you mouse over the DA2 icon and click the "i" do you see "High Resolution Texture Pack" listed under your "Add-Ons & Bonuses" (if it hasn't been accessed before it should be listed as "Free")?

It worked!! Extract the files from the installer that you download find the package file. Go to the origins, thenDragon age II file find the package file there. Copy the extracted one and paste it in to add the high res texture files. Launch game then go to options and check the high resolution texture box. Done

Im glad i read through to this last post. Thank you for pointing out you have to diwnlad the hi res pack from the origin installer. its dl for me now. Moar XP for you!

If you have trouble installing the official texture patch, you could instead install this unofficial texture mod that looks much better than the official patch. http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage2/mods/3687/?

I have this issue too. I've searched all over the internet and I can't find a reliable solution that works. This is ridiculous.
It doesn't seem to be an issue for people who physically bought the game, and there is a workaround for the Steam version (which we can no longer purchase, or I would have). But I can't find any solution for the Origin version.

The Hi_Res Pack is an ".exe" file. When you download it you should SAVE to your machine, then double-click it to install.

It installed fine on my EA/Origin version (as it did on my previous retail disc version.)

What type of install do you have?

This was posted 2 months ago, is there no fix? I can open up the settings and the texture pack won't install while they are open. I close the settings and the texture pack says the game isn't installed.

The texture quality was so horrible in this game. I Googled, and found the official hi-res texture back on Bioware's site. I ran the .exe file but it couldn't find the installed Dragon Age 2. I bought the game through Origin, and the DLCs I bought for this game installed properly without any problems.
