Try running Origin as Administrator.

If that don't helps, go to your ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\__Installer\directx\redist" folder and delete all the files with a ".cab" file extension

After that run the "DXSETUP.exe" (As Administrator) inside the same folder > restart the Computer > test.

If that also don't helps, download the DirectX end-user runtime from here > install (Run the installer as Administrator) > restart the Computer > test.

Hey I was trying to do your solution but i have a question

The .cab files are they those files with different months like April, August, December, Februari, June, March, November, October?

Thanks for the solution anyway

@DarkJupiter28

Yes, they are.

If you go to the "View" tab in the Windows Explorer menu bar and check the "File name extensions" check-box you will see the *.cab extension.

@BuffyAU1 

So you get the exact same error if you try to install the ME2 original game?

Please create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply. You can do that  with the "Choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.
