I have the same problem. It all installed successfully (or so it said), but New Game only offers the original options and Other Campaigns is greyed out. So it looks like something hasn't registered properly.

Edit: and I've got a fix for it, I think (there might be a simpler way to do this, but this is what seemed to work for me).

• Open up your Dragon Age game folder.
• Open addins, then dao_prc_ep_1 under there.
• Right-click Edit the manifest.xml file.
• Select from the  line (this is almost the entire contents of the file).
• Copy it to the clipboard.
• Open your My Documents folder.
• Open up BioWare, Dragon Age, Settings.
• Right-click Edit the AddIns.xml file.
• Go right to the bottom of this file, and immediately before the final tag (ie. right after the last tag, paste the text you copied earlier.
• Save and close everything, then run the game.  Awakening should appear properly now.

THIS FREAKING WORKED! YES! One step that I initially did wrong that wasn't 100% clear to me, Step 9, I would re-word as:

9. Go right to the bottom of this file.  Right after the line "</AddInItem>", paste the text you copied earlier.

Can anyone walk me through this one by one when i open addins i dont have the option '' dao_prc_ep_1''... the closest to that is dao_prc_gib_ep1.... what do i do now???? im so frusterated!!!

[Chokladglass]

Are you sure you're in the Program Files one? There's an addins in the Dragon Age folder in My Documents as well. That's the wrong one.

ok, so i've tried the solution uecasm has and it didn't work. im pretty sure i did something wrong tho because when i loaded DA back up, all my other content was gone (i.e return to ostagar, etc. ) if someone can paste what the addins is supposed to look like thatd be great. im also opening the xmls thru notepad, didnt know if that mattered

[sublime362]

so were do i paste the lines after the last addinitem or before

[Chokladglass]

I'd say after the last </AddInItem>, before </AddInsList>.

this worked but its outrageous that you have to do this yourself when its obvious many people are having the same problem, you'd think its part of Bioware's job not the customers...

agreed, it's hardly in its beta stage

This is still not fixed by Bioware... I bought a repackaged "Utlimate Edition" and all my DLC shows up but not awakening. I know own 2 copies of DA and can't play the expansion. Why isn't this patched?

Perhaps you didn't uninstall the old game before installing Ultimate Edition?  See the links posted here:

If you downloaded Awakening using the EA Download Manager and installed it with a disc-based version of Origins, you might get this error.  The solution, sadly, seems to download and install *both* games using the Download manager... in other words, all disc, or all digital.

If you've used another service, I dunno, but I expect the same solution might work.

I looked through some of this forum and seemed to find a alternativ that works for STEAM sence this solution in this post did not work for me.
Anyway here it is. I want no credit for this because it was not I that came up with this thing.

SOLVED for Steam:
-Make sure that your current user account has write and modify permission for C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Bioware
-Run DAO_UpdateAddinsXml_Steam.exe in the folder C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\\\steamapps\\common\\dragon age origins\\redist
-Make sure that you see a 'Result[0]' in the installer dialogue, 'Result[-1]' indicates a problem

Thank You! I have looked for a solution for days. Just stumbled on this.

I usually hate to Necro a post but this deserves it!

This method will actually break your DLC. Areas will not trigger properly and reward items for completing DLC will not spawn into inventory properly. Se the solutions round up thread pinned to the top.

Thanks uecasm, this worked for me.

Also thanks to Shenordak for explaining exactly which line in the xml to copy.
