    Looks like it has to do with reported CPU count.

    I found a workaround posted on reddit. This allowed the config tool to run properly. https://www.reddit.com/r/DragonageOrigins/comments/otrgc0/dragon_age_origins_ultimate_edition_wont_boot/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

    I found this fix :

    - Download the latest Windows ADK for your specific Windows version : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-Us/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install

    During installation, it gives the option to select multiple tools; the only one needed is Compatibility Administrator.

    - Once installed, open the Start Menu folder named Windows Kits, and launch Compatiblity Administrator (32-bit).

    - Select the new database under custom databases.

    - Click the database menu > Create New > Application Fix.

    - Provide the full path of DAOriginsConfig.exe and give it a name of choosing.

    - Skip past the compatibility mode options.

    - In compatibility fixes select ProcessorCountLieForHybridCPU and ProcessorCountLie.

    - Select Next and finish

    - Press CTRL +S on your Keyboard or click on "Save"

    - give it a name when prompted and try to save the database file in the same directory if possible
    - Click on "run".

    Attaching screenshot of what this compatibility application should look like.
