This is seriously annoying. I have tried 5 times now to install with the disk. My drivers are updated and everything is working but my PC keeps freezing then when I reboot it's not showing anything going on with Origin and it is not downloading anything but says files in use and I have to restart the PC again to try installing again. The Can you run it site says I have over the recommended for playing this and that I should have "great experience running this product."...Going to try just downloading but honestly I bought the inquisitors edition for nothing it seems. Disk not working and the owl was broken, but that is a different subject. If anyone figures out why the disk install is so junk I would love to know, and yes I tried the suggestions posted here and it still froze/said it was busy.

1. Completely UnInstall Origin

2. Pop in your Disc 1

3. Open Containing Folder for Dragon Age Inquisition

4. Double click on Setup.exe

5. Download Origin into a Folder where you would like it to be. This can be the same folder you had it before, Just make sure it's into a Folder that is

named Origin. (example: (G: ) > Programsx86 > Origin > )  

5a. Once you installed Origin goto Origin Client. Then click on Origin in the top left corner to Redeem Product Code. Enter Your Product Code from the pamphet inside the Gamecase. 

6. Proceed into Downloading Game from Disc once Origin is Downloaded. 

7. Do Not Change Disc until Pop up from Origin says so. If you do not see pop up then look for the Flashing Origin and mouse over Task bar until you see window pop up. Change to Next Disc and Click Okay Button. Do not worry about the Pop Up for Pictures or Opening the Folder again. You can just Cancel off that window. The Download will continue as normal once you insert the next Disc. 

8. Disc 4 Takes a little longer because it contains the additional content. The Disc may say that it's completed it's download. However once you hear your disc 4 stop spinning it then proceeds to try and download from the additional content. From this point the Game seems to get stalled out. To fix this. Just exit Origin, and start the Game from a Desktop Menu. This opens Origin autimatically and starts updating the additional content. Once the additional content is starting to download then proceed to step 9. 

9. Make sure Additional Content is downloaded by checking Origin Status Downloaded Content. Once done the Update File will Start downloading for you. 

10. Once Game is done downloaded, you can proceed to play the game. 

You do not need to reboot your PC. 

Please Note that you will not be able to use a Microsoft 360 Rock Candy Wired Controller If you have a Nostromo Controller and or a Orb Weaver Game pad plugged in at the same time. I re-downloaded this game 3 times because of this bug not realizing all I had to do was unplug my Orbweaver gamepad.  


I am having trouble with step 3. I have been sitting here attempting to install this game from my disc for hours and stumbled upon this. What does step 3 mean and how do I get to it? My internet download speed means that it will take this game a week to complete and I don't have the luxury of waiting that long.

Sorry for the lack of tech-savviness folks. 

Edit: I figured out where the containing folder was, but I am still facing the same problem. Ant tips, seeing as the game has been out for quite some time now?
