That the MassEffect2Launcher.exe is empty is strange.

What version of Windows are you running? The Windows account you are using is a Administrator account?

You do restart the PC sometimes, not just put it into hibernation?

Another possible solution is to deinstall ME2 again, restart, delete the ME2 License from "C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License" restart again and install ME2 fresh.

You know what? It works now!

Although uninstalling and removing the licence file didn't help, I installed the game from a another Mass Effect 2 game that I have in Origin. I must have acquired that from a Humble Bundle or something. The game recognizes itself as a Digital Deluxe edition when downloading so I can access all the DLCs I think.

Thanks for your help @holger1405 and @EA_David.
