I've played the game for some time now, and now i'm trying to run patch 1.02
When I do so, I get the error message
Dragon Age : Origins was not found
Please reinstall the game again
I have Windows 7
The game was installed the normal way
(but not on the C: drive)
Can anyone please help?

OK, I’ve found it.
In windows7 you can install the game with the administrator account, or with your own account.
When your account has no administrator privilages, the installer asks for the administrator password, and the game is installed with the administrator account. And that is where it goes wrong. For some reason, a part of the install is not correct, and the game can not be found when running the patch, or a DLC, and some of the MODs.
So what I did is: I gave my user account administrator privilages, and installed the game again. That was all.
One problem with installing the game again is, you can’t un-install it first,because it does not see a correct install. But when you use the autorun with the game-dvd, it says the game is alread installed. So you have to run the setup programfrom the DVD to install it again.
