Ok, first it should work with this Origin version on XP.
What is happening if you click on Install again?
Please try this:
- Close Origin completely.
- go to your ">dive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect \Binaries" folder and delete the "MassEffect2.exe" and the "ME2Game.exe"
- go to your ">dive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect" folder and delete the "Data" folder
- Start Origin as Administrator. > Go to the Game Library and start the download again.
If that don't works, and if your internet connection doesn't causes additional cost, try to download and install "The Sims 4" Trial version to see if this is a Origin problem or a specific ME2 installation problem.
After the initial download was complete, it proceeded directly to the documentary pack, and once that was done the download process stopped. The bar at the bottom no longer showed that anything was downloading and all other packs said that they were queued, but I couldn't click on them to start the download process. The only pack that showed any sort of ability to interact with was the documentary pack and once I clicked it, it provided a message that said I couldn't download the pack until Mass Effect 2 was installed. I tried to then install Mass Effect 2, but it would load, fill the installation bar, and then never install, since clicking download now on the documentary pack would tell me that I needed to install Mass Effect 2 first. I'm not sure why this is occurring, why it didn't continue with the queued packs, or why it isn't installing after the bar shows that its complete.
If I understand you correctly you did not run Origin as administrator?
Is your Windows user account not an administrator account?
No, I was unable to run origin as an administrator and the windows user account I use isn't an administrator account.
OK, then you already run Origin as an Administrator on XP.
Can you try to install The Sims 4 trial without that this is creating additional cost for you? That could help us to isolate the error.
