Hey guys!

I've got a Windows Vista machine and had a difficult time getting the installer to run. I downloaded it initially and ran it - my machine just clocked and eventually locked up. I deleted the file, redownloaded, restarted, redownloaded Direct X from the web, and tried again. Still had the same result. Below are the steps I used to fix the problem.
  • I used Microsoft's Web Installer to install DirectX (located here)
  • I rebooted.
  • I redownloaded (third time now... ugh!) the DAO2 Demo Installer
  • disabled User Account Control: this seemed to be what was holding everything back from working.
  • I rebooted
  • I ran the installer - it worked!
I hope that helps. Here's a quicky on disabling User Account Control (which can be re-enabled after installation).
  • Click the Start button
  • Go to Control Panel
  • Open User Accounts
  • Select the link for Turn User Account Control on or off
  • Remove the checkmark regarding use of User Account Control.
Happy gaming guys - here's to Bioware and the great games they put out! Cheers!
