Hello everyone!

I apologize if this is the wrong place for this post!

I am attempting to install the Big World Project for the first time. I read on the main pdf (v9.3) that the installation can take very long. I let the installation run overnight. When I woke up I found that my computer was at the login screen for windows. I wasn't sure if the installation process automatically restarts the computer, so I wasn't sure if the installation was successful. My question is this:

Is there any way to determine if the installation has been completed successfully, other than playing through the game and attempting to encounter all of the mods?

I can start the game normally and seem to have no major errors,

My installation and setup position are thus:

Windows 7
Clean install (as far as I can tell, I followed the guide rather meticulously)
Disable antivirus and Firewall
Disabled Windows 7 UAC and PCA
Run Big World Setup
Chose Recommended version
Let it run overnight

Although everything seems to be working, the last lines in the Big World Debug are:

Which seem inconclusive and perhaps anticlimactic to me. (I was expecting a "Installation successful" or something)

Thanks for any help!

Well, the WeiDU.log tells you which components on what mods were installed, it's a text file that you can open with Notepad... although it doesn't really tell you anything if you don't know what you are looking for.
