Error installing mods with Dragon Age 1.04

[Kalfireth]

Hello all,

 

I'm very new to installing mods for Dragon Age and have just updated my game to version 1.04 (latest version) but with no additional DLC, packs or anything like that installed - just the original game.

 

I'm trying to install a couple of mods using daupdater.exe as instructed in various mods / tutorials. However I recieve a consistent error when installing and can't see a way around it. Out of curiosity, I tried a couple of other mods but neither of them worked either.

 

The log file during installation of one of the mods is as follows:

Unfortunately, it's all greek to me. Can anyone see a way clear to helping me to get the mods installed? Is it because I'm using a newer version of the game than the mods were created for?

 

Many thanks in advance!
