Hey Holger1405 😉
Seems to be he has the same problem as I have. As you requested here is mine DXDIAG.
I don't use Windows 10. My suspiction is a problem with this "IGameExplorer2". But I can't find an application with that name in the Windows-Environment.
Did you tried to install to your C drive?
Try to install the game after this guide. > test
Please also look at the guide I linked above and set your UAC accordantly. (just for the installation, set it back to it's original state afterwards.) > test.
Unfortunately this made no difference. Wish we didn't have to use the Origin client, reading online all the problems people have with Origin and Mass Effect 3 in particular, it's just a shame.
Right, no difference.
@holger1405 You are right, the error 80070005 is in principle responsible for lack of permissions. But I've done everything in this direction. There are no restrictions on my system and I never have had such an error in the past.
Do you know GTA IV? This is a problematic game where some hurdles are need to take. And it runs perfectly on my System. And, it is also a "Windows Game Explorer" Game. Or NFS III - also no problem - and for this you have to be an PC-Expert ;-).
Why could M3 not use Steam like part 1 and 2? This runs also perfectly on my system.
I tried just for fun to reinstall BF 3 - but the same GDF error xD
Luckily I only have 3 Games that requiring Origin (BF 3, Crysis 3, ME3). The only game which made no problems is Crysis 3, don't ask me why.
The strange thing about this that it happens on Windows 7 for both of you.
Please try this:
- Create a new user account with Administrator rights.
- reboot
- logon to the new account and try to install the game.
