My problem has nothing to do with the whole Windows 7 64 bit issue anymore; however, I am still having trouble installing the latest DLC. For whatever reason, every time I try to install, the installation states that I do not have Mass Effect 2 installed when I do.
I suppose it has something to do with having installed the game in a different drive rather than the typical C Drive. Nonetheless, I had no problems installing previous DLCs onto the game.
Anything that may remedy this predicament?

Not only will it NOT install for me but every time I try to start up Mass Effect 2 now I get a message saying cannot start error 83....
Its the steam copy of it if that helps any and yes I tried running as administrator.

Well, might as well start a band wagon for those of us who are left out on the fun due to these installation issues.

When I try to install the new file the computer almost freezes and the desktop and explorer becomes unresponsive. Eventually, about 20 min later, I get;
File system error (-1073741510)
I run Vista 64 bit

glad to see i am not the only one having issues installing. i am getting the lovely " this version of the file is not compatible with the version of windows " error.
I am running Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit. tried all the tricks i could think of .. run as admin, run in compat modes. no love at all. all the other DLC worked fine. I am trying another download . . unfortunately, it is super slow for me for some reason. looking at 9 hours...

For those of you with compatibility issues regarding to Windows 7 or Vista, that issue was resolved when they replaced the DLC download with an updated one. So marineman225 and kidego, you should both be able to play once you re-download the DLC.
But of course, if you still have the same problem after you downloaded the updated DLC, then nevermind, continue posting your problems.

Is the size of the file still 1.51 GBs?

It should still be 1.51 GBs as far as I am aware.

I can't install but don't want to make my own thread. I'm having the problem where the installer just plain doesn't run when trying to open it and lags the whole PC.

More or less the same problem I am having Faction, on top of it crashing my windows now I can't even delete it as it just freezes up when I try.

ok well I fixed the issue with the game itself not starting but try as I might the DLC just won't install.
I don't get a pop message I don't get anything in fact the folder its in freezes when I even try to install it.
an hour later I'll get it asking if I want to allow it so of course I say yes and nothing happens after that this is getting so frustrating I'm starting to want my money back.. I don't care how good it is anymore.

ok so I guess i'm not the only person having this problem. I click the installer and winows crashes or it just takes forever and I just got a pop up asking me if I wanted to run the installer (a while later) and I said yes and nothing happened.
This is insanely annoying......

I'm giving up for now...
All this time wasted when I could be enjoying myself.
I'm not gonna make a scene or anything.... Either this gets fixed or I learn my lesson... I mean I broke my rule of never buying DLC because their almost never worth the money.
