Not sure what I am doing/did wrong... Installed BG, TotSC, Patched, BGII, ToB, Patched, BGII Fixpack, Rogue Rebalancing, and Ascension. Can't install BP due to unrecognized strings. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Are you sure you are installing Big Picture (BP) and not BWP or BGT? BP really has nothing to do with BG or TotSC.
Either way your install order is messed up. I would suggest not installing Ascension and if you really must install it, install it before the fixpack. If you are installing BP, do not install Ascension, a better and updated version is already part of BP.
Good Luck!

Well, the BP has the Ascension in it so you better not install that... and the debug file is nowhere to be seen... so you better go and change it's name to end with .txt and not with .debug so you can attach it... or just put the file into a .zip(or .rar, .7z ) archive, and then attach it to a post.Not sure what I am doing/did wrong...

Going to uninstall BGII and ToB and start over. The order (I think) I need to install Mod's is:
G3 BGII fixpack
Rogue Rebalancing
Big Picture
BGTrilogy
BGT-Tweaks
Big World Project
Is this correct and are there any other mods I should look for?

Link... That's all you need...Going to uninstall BGII and ToB and start over. The order (I think) I need to install Mod's is
Big World Setup
Is this correct and are there any other mods I should look for?
As the original name of the project that lead it's way to the BiG World Setup was the "Big World Project"... and yes, the "BiG World Setup.vbs" is a program that downloads, extracts and sets up he game so the BiG World Install.bat(a program that the BWS download) can install all the mods that you make it to install...
PS: Remember to choose the "Further customization of your mod-settings"...

sorry for the noob question but i want to instal BP, choosing BG2 (O)nly, and then i got 4 errors. it says:
1. my directory isn't BGII - SoA //but it is!
2. i dont have the latest patch installed //but i do have 26498!
3. i don't have ...\BGII - SoA\CD5\movies\25movies.bif //i had it, but pasted it again, 2 make sure
but i do have 'em all.
is it because i running a win7? (32bit)? or i just plain silly and forgot something?

And have you disabled the UAC & PCA, and where exactly is the game folder ? The answer 2 here gives clues on what you should be doing... the directory for example needs to be exactly "BGII - SoA", not "BG2 - SoA" or "BGII- SoA" ... etc.is it because i running a win7? (32bit)? or i just plain silly and forgot something?
PS, this has nothing to do with the BP, but with the BWS...

thanx, excellent manual. yes, i'd forgot to disable a few things.
