As the title says, after installing BGT 1.04 onto my PC, followed by the DSotSC as suggested by http://www.shsforums...showtopic=22224, this excellent install guide, I get an AR8073.are error when installing it.

ERROR locating resource for 'COPY'
Resource [AR8703.ARE] not found in KEY file:
[./chitin.key]
Stopping installation because of error.

Any ideas?

Normally you'll get an error like that when you've rolled back your installation, then re-installed your game, but you didn't remove all of the old Bifs that are created by installed mods from your data folder. I know you'll get a DDKIV error from having a couple of your TDD biffs remaining. I think their are 2 from TDD and 2 from RoT that don't get removed from data upon rolling back your install. The best way to avoid this issue is to do a completely fresh install of BGII-SoA + ToB + 26498 Patch, and then proceed with installation. You'll also want to verify you have the most recent mod versions. That install guide hasn't been updated for new links recently, although the procedures within it are still valid. I believe my install order may be different now as well. Check my most recent WeiDU logs to see what order I'm running now.
