How to install DLC (return to Ostagar)

[peteurpola]

Apparently EA is hosting the DLC on their site for free:

Some of them seem to be .EXE installers and I managed to install one DLC easily like that, but the "Return to Ostagar" DLC is not an .EXE file and contains a manifest.xml file and a "Contents" directory. It does not come with any instructions. I assume I'm supposed to unpack it somewhere in the Dragon Age directory, but where?

Nevermind I found instructions, but if somebody else ends up having the same issue this site has instructions:

Basically you need to run the daupdater.exe file in the Dragon Age origins steam directory and choose the downloaded Dazip files and it will install them. My mistake was in thinking I needed to use Winrar or some other program to unpack them, but the daupdater.exe file will do that job.
