How does one, RE-installs the mega mod? what are the best correct steps? Simply run the BWS again, and follow the installation process has before?

Well, that's much it, if you wish to re-install most, you just start the BiG World Setup.bvs(or something very alike), and follow the setup to a new install as it asks wether it should start a new setup or end.

And yes, the BiG World Install.bat installs the Widescreen mod at the very end, so you can re-install it even after biffing if you do not mind loosing the few hours the machine does the rebiffing, again.

2.2 The best way to reinstall everything.

Btw, some other thing came up, while I was doing the reinstallation. Right after the hidden extraction phase, the program lists all wrongfully extracted files (I had about 5 of them). Now, I know, I must extract them manually, but, shoud I extract them into a seperate folder, so that the weidu exec. doesn't run, an then transfer the files to the SoA folder, or simply, unpack the files to the SoA folder, and let the weidu exec. install the mods? this is quite a predicament.

You can always... and should alway... exit the cmd.exe window with the red X.

And what ever you do, DO NOT LET IT INSTALL ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As the mods are packed into auto-extraction archives(.exe).

That was my suspicion and strong conviction, I was already proceding with the reinstall having that in mind. Thank you.

I have something to report that may help in the future versions of the BWS. It may be nothing, I'll put it at your consideration.

- This happens while the BWS is in the hidden uncompressing phase. It seems that if you dont give enough time for the setup to run the next executable file, before the actual one is unzipping, it stops the current unzipping process, and skips to the next file. I noticed this, after a couple of reinstallations myself, when, I was eager to finish, and pressed the "yes" button perhaps too fast, and after it finished, I had a lot more failed uncompressed files, listed, than in the previous installations.

For your consideration.
