--- Comment #9 from Contex  ---
So I'm still stuck at UAC permissions, is this something with Wine?

It seems to fail creating the "Z:\opt\games\Mass Effect 2" directory (or
whatever directory you're trying to install the game to), even though I created
it manually and gave it 777 permissions.

My workaround (creating directories) worked for the previous issues. Seems like
Origin is unable to create directories throughout the system.

I'm not sure what to do next, feels like I've tried everything there is to try.
