Description

While not a toolset issue per se, it's an issue that affects builders, so seems just as important to me. After packaging a mod into a DAZIP, the player can't simply install it by double-clicking the file that's already associated with DAUpdater. Instead, DAUpdater errors out with Cannot find "DAUpdater.xml" file. Please contact tech support. Here's the reference thread [1].

Workarounds

  • Run DAUpdater from $GameInstallDir/bin_ship

Or

  • Supply a copy of DAUpdater.XML relative to the DAZIP file: $CWD/../data/DAUpdater.XML. The game will complain afterwards about the content requiring a later version of Dragon Age than what's installed, but it will install it. This might not work with the Korean version though... I think there's a Korean-language version at least.
