Try the manual installation instructions listed here. Note you will need to download and install the 1.02 patch before proceeding to Step 7.

Note:
1) Mobility (Laptop) video chipsets are not supported by ME1. They may work, they may not.
2) ME1 was released well before Win7 was. As such, there is no guarantee that you will be able to get it working, even if you do run it in XP compatibility mode, and with admin privileges.
3) These are unoffical tech support forums for a 4 year old game, and people rarely swing by these forums these days. Bumping the thread after only an hour was not necessary, as it would have been noticed sooner or later. If you want immediate support, contact EA's support site.

4) Digital copies add all their own problems too.
I've seen a workaround for this but i think it might only work for the disc version since it requires copying files into a folder you created yourself in your game directory. Can you access files individually and install them with a digital version? I'm not overly familiar with the format i prefer old reliable hard copies.

You will need:
A) access to the contents of the data directory (either off CD, download, temp files, etc)
WinRar or 7zip or any tool that can extract .rar files.
Steps:
1) Create a folder on your system somewhere. Default for the installer is "C:\\Program Files\\Mass Effect\\" or a games folder.
2) Open each .rar file in the utility chosen (WinRar for e.g.)
3) Extract each .rar file into this folder. If you are using an English build, you won't need to extract any .rar file that has a different language code (_es, _fr, _de, _it, etc)
4) After extracting all files, your folder should look like this:
...\\Mass Effect\\Binaries\\
...\\Mass Effect\\BioGame\\
...\\Mass Effect\\data\\
...\\Mass Effect\\docs\\
...\\Mass Effect\\Engine\\
...\\Mass Effect\\MassEffectLauncher.exe
5) Run the MassEffectLauncher.exe and quit immediately.
6) Run the "Mass Effect ™_code.exe" from the data folder. Enter your CD Key, click next, it will exit out.
7) Run the Launcher again, hit "Config". under the "Repair" tab, you can re-create your shortcuts if running XP. If running Vista, I'm sorry, you can't add the game to the Game Explorer in these instructions.
8) Quit back to the launcher.
9) Play! (everything should work nicely now)
Anyway that's the fix i know of. Dunno how much good it is to you
