Have you tried any of the stuff in point 4 here??

Anyway, about the crashes, please attach your WeiDU.log, a zipped BiG World Debug.txt and your baldur.err files (in your BGII-SoA folder) here, that should probably tell us why the crashes happen and whether you have a fubared install

Cheers,
Lol

The best would be if you, Jodokai, open a new topic about your crashes and post the mentioned stuff from Lollorian in it.

Hello,

I want to use this fantastic tool, but I get a very annoying message as I try to install. It tells me that I should rename my BGII-SoA folder to BGII-SoA and to put it in the same folder as Baldur's Gate. Since both of these requests are already fullfilled, I'm kind of stuck.

Thanks, Al

Open BiG World Setup\Inclides\16_Testing.au3
Goto line 362 and put a semicolon before the line

If FileExists($Path&"\BGII - SvA") And FileExists($Path&"\BGII - SoA") Then $Error&=_GetTR($Message, 'L5')&@CRLF

This will display the warning but you can continue.

Thanks! I will go try that.

It's before you start the mod installations. In other words, look at the bottom half of this:

As that exits... you then exit the black box as it asks in what language you wish to install the mods, and as a precosion, I would advice you to run oneof the setup-*modname*.exes, but do not install anything!, move the changed BiG World Setup.bat to the game folder, and then start that.

Anyway I realised that BWS is still using Weidu-212, and I believe that the latest version is 213? Also the downloaded fixpack is 8.2.7 but the latest version available from Spellhold is 8.2.8? Dunno if that helps to diagnose the problem... Let me know if there's any other info I can provide

I've updated the linklist today afternoon. Perhaps your BWS linkupdate was not correct. Please try the whole installation again and don't delete the BWS debugs afterwards.

Greetings Leomar

Which one?
BWS (prepare) or BWP (install-part)?

If it's BWS, check your Alias-section in Baldur.ini.
If you did that and still get the error, edit BiG World Setup\Includes\16_Testing.au3 and line 359 from

If Not FileExists($BG2AliasDir & 'Movies\25movies.bif') Then $Error&=_GetTR($Message, 'L3')&@CRLF

to

If Not FileExists($BG2AliasDir & 'Movies\25movies.bif') Then $Hint&=_GetTR($Message, 'L3')&@CRLF

It will still display the message but you can continue the script if you like to. Please note that files under Vista/7 may not be where they seem to be.

Also, what keeps you from using win XP? The script was mainly written using win XP, so I wonder why you can't use it.
You may have disabled VScript somewhere. In that case, just enter the BiG World Setup-directory and drag the BiG World Setup onto the AutoIt3.exe.

Oh man.
Sorry, but I really recommend using in this order:

A real OS on a physical PC
A real OS on a virtual machine
Any other "API converter/OS emulators".

Reason: Wine it's just not tested. And I don't intend to.

Even if I used wine at the first steps developing the BWS, I switched to a vmplayer-session with w2k. The reason was I had crashes because jpeg-support that was not implemented properly. A few weeks later, I switched to a native XP since the vmware-box still was dog-slow on using disks compared to the real one. And when doing stuff like extractions or installations, that really stops the fun you are having since you do all this stuff in a box.

Since then, I don't think I left that much code unchanged.

[Bomimo]

it actually worked... so far, i've still to test the game untill said cinematics appear.

[Lollorian]

And the answer is .... (drumroll) ... DA IAAURFIX!!! (do I win something?? )

Extract it t your BGII-SoA folder, and doubleclick setup-iaaurfix.exe Then install it

Never got that kinda error, so I shouldn't probably answer that But did you do a FULL install of both BGI-TotSC and BGII-ToB?? (as in check all boxes for BGI and custom->full in BGII)

Maybe you could ignore that?? I dunno Oh, and you should probably look for a WeiDU.log and BiG World Debug.txt in your BGII-SoA folder and compress them and attach them here

[Jarno Mikkola]

... before i install all again i want ask why the instalation ask for CD and says windows pop-up "patch.exe"

Insert disk Continue, Ignore etc... i already patched the game in the previous attempts and i have now the DA fixer ty you also shall i just install ignoring this "patch.exe disk" ??????

Because you have an bad baldur.ini file in the game directory... you need to edit it so it doesn't have your CD drive as one of the [Alias]'es with Notepad, don't worry about the CD drives not been included in the file, as the game will check that it's in one of the drives when it starts but it's not needed for any other data storrage, so you can delete the extra drive headed.([Alias]...
CD5:=C:\BWS\BGII - SoA\CD5\;D:\CD5) Extra.

Maybe you could ignore that?? I dunno Oh, and you should probably look for a WeiDU.log and BiG World Debug.txt in your BGII-SoA folder and compress them and attach them here

No you can't or you'll have Assertion failure in ChDimm.cpp at line 834...
