I use three options when playing - a desktop, a laptop docked with a monitor and the laptop undocked. Each uses completely different screen resolutions. (1920x1080, 1600x1200, and 1366x768 respectively) it would be very nice if the widescreen mod could be placed last so that I could change resolutions just by running the setup. Or, since this situation may not apply to many people, an option to run widescreen last?
Today I simply s(K)ip the widescreen and run it last. So it's not a big issue, just a nice addition.

Well, not many people need this, and as the mod changes a few area files, and then those area files are biffed by the generalized biffing... so moving the mod is not the best option, instead you'll have to just do what you already do, install it separately, in each computer after you have copied the entire game folder......

Sorry -to clarify - only one install (on a backpack HD) - running in three different screen resolutions, depending on which box/monitor is running.

Maybe you could avoid including Widescreen Mod in the BWS list and install it separately(without BWS), after all the rest is finished, so you can uninstall/reinstall it.

Well, I gave my installation to 2 other people so we had the exact same files to play multiplayer with and what I did was run the widescreen mod's Weidu Setup file after the complete installation (Widescreen mod integrated in the original install). I changed the values for the correct resolution and it appeared to install the remaining mods that came after in order again. Played through the entire BG1 and no issues.

I pick this (do I win?? )

Sorry, but that's actually 3 or dozens of installs, as you'll install and reinstall the Widescreen mod those dozens of times... so it's still best to customize the install so that the primary package(...when the BWS is used to make that) doesn't have the widescreen mod at all, and then install the Widescreen mod in the end... each time, with each monitor.
What you would be asking is that we sacrifice our disc space(as the area picture files are biffed, and then remodified) for this movability that we don't need.
We just ask that you use your mind to get exactly what you want.

Are you sure this happens?? In all my installs, it finishes rather fast to remodify all the area files ... (even if it did mod are files, it looks like it does it to specific ones, not every file ) So disk space wasted would be in at max 10 MB
