I have been trying everything, re-downloading both Demo and Origin, updated drivers, changed directories, sacrificed goats, but nothing happens. Every time the installation is done, (I assume, no installation screen pops up or anything) the same bloody " Ready to Install" pops up, again and again.

As i was finaly loosing my marbles i found the InstallLog and here is what seems to be the problem:

10:20:15  Installing C:\\Program Files\\Origin Games\\Mass Effect 3 Demo\\GDFBinary_en_US.dll ...
10:20:15  Alternate GDF game name Mass Effect 3 Demo
10:20:15  IGameExplorer for Vista

10:20:16  Installer finished with exit code: 3
10:20:16  Shutting down data reader.

Now, i have no idea what to do, the GDFBinary_en_US.dll file is in the directory.
Anyone know what to do?

[Alarianna]

[trumansho1]

Hi,

Sorry to hear you are having problems.
Can you confirm if you are attempting to install on an administrator account with no parental controls turned on?

Thanks

I've been asked to request that you try installing to a different directory than the default to see if that makes any difference.

Can you please let me know if it does?

You mean install origins in a different directory?

If you go to the Gear Icon in Origin and select "Settings" there is a section in the "General" tab called "Downloaded Games", can you try and change this location? (To C:\\Games or similar, the new location is not important)

It doesn´t work even when installing in another directory.

Apparently this happened with Origin and BF3 as well. See this link, it may give you some direction:

Thanks! This worked, so have a cookie or a soke on my behalf! <3

[Alarianna]

open regedit from start/search bar
Under the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Wow 6432Node\\EA Games\\Battlefield 3

I had already GDFBinary with the value being: C:\\Program Files\\Origin Games\\Battlefield 3\\GDFBinary_en_US.dll


Now I did add another value called:

Install Dir

And in this one I entered the following text: C:\\Program Files\\Origin Games\\Battlefield 3
Again this is my install path, yours might be different.

so in there i have
ab (Default) REG_SZ (value not set)
ab GDFBinary REG_SZ C:\\Program Files\\Origin Games\\Battlefield 3\\GDFBinary_en_US.dll

ab Install Dir REG_SZ C:\\Program Files\\Origin Games\\Battlefield 3

After restarting origin, suddenly origin saw the game as being installed

Ofcourse correct the things so it says Mass Effect 3 Demo instead of Battlefield 3
It is actually very easy once you figure it out. Just follow the steps and then it should work for you.

And apologies for the double post.

Thanks Alarianna! It worked!

Now on a more somber note, they should really have that fixed.

[Joe Hegarty]

I'm glad to hear that you resolved the problem.
I'll pass this information on to the relevant members of the team.

[Tanek9]

I don't have the EA games on my wow6432 node so I tried doing this step under origin games, Its still not installing...

[Alarianna]

Look under Bioware games, I found mine under that.

[Alarianna]

Stupid double post >.<

ok will do, when I create new which one do I create to input the values?

[trumansho1]

I dont have a mass effect 3 folder under Bioware...

An EA mod told me the registry should look like this : http://minus.com/mqsTVvST8#1f

The thing is, i dont even have the key to begin with. Looked under EA, nothing, looked under Bioware, nothing...Its nowhere to be found..

OMG it worked

I created everything from the picture link key by key, and when I opened origins it told me it was "finalizing" then ready to play!

Dont ask me how come the mass effect 3 folder wasnt in the registry at all...

[Alarianna]

Atleast you got it to work, so enjoy!
