Worked fine after swithching compatibility to Win2000. Well, it was a very good operating system. If it wasn't for security issues, I would have kept it.

It seems bioware didn't care about security so they kept it :innocent:

Just FYI, there are currently 2 "awakening failed install" threads going, the other one is here:

@jfox81 How would I do this? I've got the CD's here I'm just not sure what this means:

"Okay, managed to track down the culprit: its the .rim file starting with al_arl01al_redcliffe. If anybody could be so kid as to upload the file somewhere, i will have your babies! Pretty please?"

Open up Word

Paste the following into word



"E:\\data\\DAO_UpdateAddinsXml.exe" /addins="BioWare\\Dragon Age\\Settings\\addins.xml" /manifest="I:\\Games\\Dragon Age\\addins\\dao_prc_ep_1\\manifest.xml"



Now, change this accordingly to your own drives.

E=My DVD drive, Put whatever your DVD drive is.

I:\\Games = my location for Dragon age, insert your own path to it



With the modifications, copy this text. Open up CMD, right click in it, press paste, enter if need be. The Addon installer will run succesfully. With any luck you can now boot up Dragon Age and select Awakening!





PS. This board tend to double the number of "\\". If you see two \\ in a row instead of one, simply make sure it's only one, as folder paths should be.

Some programmer probably knew he/she was about to get fired and did this as a "ha ha..gotcha!!" to get back at them.

I tried the compatability fixes and failed. The last option worked - I had to uninstall DAO and re-install it with no modes and no patches and then install Awakening. I am going to re-istall some of the modes after I play through once for fear that adding a mode will kill it.

For what it is worth, I have the same "installation failed" problem. I am running Vista. I really do not want to uninstall DA:O because I do not want to lose all the downloadable content (not sure if it will recognize it). Call me a stone-age rock cruncher, but I do not have a clue as to how to run the set-up in Widnows 2000 mode - can anyone enlighten, please?

Oops, I take it back. I went to "computer" then "Dragon Age DvD," then "explore" then found "Set-up" then right clicked on "properties" and found "compatibility." I set it to Windows 2000 and now it is installing as I type.

However, what in the name of bits and bytes and almighty DOS is going on here?

Your DLC is safe - as long as you "log in" it's on the server side, and will recognize you.  Once I got Awakenings installed on a pure version of DAO (fresh install, no mods, 1.03 patch I took from the DVD) and working, the DLC is available - you just have to download it again.

I'm going to try adding mods one at a time - most are just cosmetic.

What that guy said earlier, try copying and pasting from here:

Okay I pulled this from my hard drive and rar'd it. Hope it helps

[Lelia1337]

 Mine installed just fine but when I start up the game "Other Campaigns" is faded out. I also tried to start a "New Game" and didn't get the pop up window to chose if I wished to play on Awakening or Origins. Help please. 

[asdsdasdasd]

Refer up to my post around 7-8 posts ago in this thread please.

 I don't understand where you paste the newly configured text...

For the DVD drive, I'm assuming this is if you've got the Awakenings hard copy? For the digital downloads, we'd put that path, right?

Go to "Run" in your start menu, and type CMD, then hit enter.

[asdsdasdasd]

It's Command Prompt, and can be acessed exactly as bleeding hearts described.



And yes, if you have a digital copy it would be to whatever location that is. The point is to put the path to that file in the command promt. So if you have the file "DAO_UpdateAddinsXml.Exe" in "C:\\Documents\\DAA\\data" or some such hypothetical location you would use "C:\\Documents\\DAA\\data\\DAO_UpdateAddinsXml.Exe" instead

I met with fail. But thank you for the help! My other campaigns is still greyed out. *angrily keysmashes* I'm still convinced there's a corrupt rar or some such and that's why it fubars in the middle of extracting.

[bleeding hearts]

AHA. I was right. For those of you who are still having issues, go into your data folder and try extracting the .rar with whatever unzipping program you use. My \\data\\movies\\mother_receives_news.bik is broken, or so says 7zip, which is why the install keeps failing. Maybe we should compile a list of broken files....?

[Fellyn]

I had the same issues with it failing to install the 1.03 patch. I was trying to install that yesterday and having issues then as well. So what I did was ran the patch in compatibility mode for Windows 2000, and now Awakening is installing fine it seems. I only deleted my non official addins.

Edit: The 1.03 patch took longer to install than Awakenings did.

In a "command prompt"

Check Start>All Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt

[Pathogen43]

I am also unable to install Awakenings.  This is beyond irritating.  I remember it being a complete and total pain to install the original campain, so this is almost in "fool me twice, shame on me" territory.  I love bioware games, but really, this is ridiculous. 

None of the compatablitiy fixes work for me right now.  Neither does safe mode or different extraction programs.  I was able to get the patch installed, but the installation fails at a random completion percentage after that.

[rak72]

ASSCHAPS!! installation failed. The compatibility thing didn't work

[rak72]

Doing a clean install - it looks like its working. I think its the patch that messed things up

[rak72]

Nope, failed again, WTH

[rak72]

Tried the 2000 compat + clean install. It worked
