You need to stop User Account control. To do that select run from start and type msconfig. There go to Tools and deactivate user account control. Restart the pc and that's it.

Only Big World Setup.exe... it will download everything for you. It will download the BiG World Installpack too, unless you move that to the download directory.

Well, the BWS doesn't install the Kits, bacause you can only use 9 for each class and race, more info on that and Kits. The jist of it is: You need to manually change things to do so, or wait for the v9-10 to be able to choose the option.

The best way to install the mods, is to first run the BWS, let it download, extract edit the files, and start the BiG World Install.bat, then when that asks if you wish to make another check for the files, end it manually from the red X, open the BiG World Install.bat file with Notepad(right click the file, and then...) and edit the numbers at the end of this line:

%IFES%TDD%S%TDD%L%0%SK% 0 | %M%
%IFGS%TDD%S%TDD%L%3%SK% 0 | %M%
%IFHNLS%TDD%S%TDD%L%0%SK% 0 | %M%

So that is has the Kit component, like so:

%IFES%TDD%S%TDD%L%0%SK%   0 1 | %M%
%IFGS%TDD%S%TDD%L%3%SK%   0 1 | %M%
%IFHNLS%TDD%S%TDD%L%0%SK% 0 1 | %M%

That is if you wish to have the TDD Kits.
And then run the BiG World Install.bat
