I tried doing a BiG world install on the GOG version but ran into a lot of problems so I switched to CD versions. I've followed all of the guides including disabling UAC and such in windows 7.

The install keeps hanging on the Installing Baldur's Gate Trilogy - Core step.

Not sure how to fix. I found one website while searching where someone had the same problem and fixed it but I'm not understanding their solution.

Thanks for any help.

Either try to type in the program-directory if it's wrong or see the Setup-BGT*.debug-files.

Thanks a lot. I didn't even realize it was a prompt .

I am not a programmer so I understand nothing but the simplest of commands.
I installed Big World Picture in once successfully did not do much except took out some of the NPCs that I did not want.
Trying to edit the weapons so that my characters would swing them using DLTCEP, it killed the game so that it would not play again.
I unistalled both games and reinstalled both Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II. Then using the Big World GUI setup I go through and then once it starts to install it locks up at BGT-Core. I kept it on for 2 days and nothing. I am about to give up, but If I use the TuTu it will not put in any of the Mods I want. Here is the Big World Debug which I do not understand at all  BiG World Debug.txt   1.13MB   645 downloads. Please give me guidence.

Type in the BG1-path and press enter.

Apparently, some of us have issues with the actual path of the game when installing BWP: eventhouth we typed the correct paths for BG1 and 2 in the appropriate fields during setup, the install program keeps the default path in its processing.

If you don't want to have to type in the correct path when the install process stops and prompts for it, you can directly change the path in the file before running it.

Modify the file named "BiG World Install.bat" in the main BG2 directory after completing the setup portion of the installation, or right before that final "enter" before the long install process.

Just change the default path here with the correct path for BG1. This solution is shown in the BiG World Installpack readme.txt file, located in this folder:

[...]BGII - SoA\BiG World Installpack\BWP read me\

So far, it worked for everyone having this issue.

Or, you can use BWS-beta better, safer, easier...

[AndrewB]

You took the appropriate steps when you reinstalled it, right? That is, making sure both BG1 and BG2 + TOB are patched to current, playing each briefly until the game autosaves, and making absolutely certain no disks are in your disk drives when you go to install the BiG World Project?

If you can say "Yes" to all of those, then the installer's trying to use the default path instead of the one you entered (don't sweat it, it's happened to me too). John Moonlord's post above explains how to take care of that.

Yeah, I used it with for my current install, and I didn't have that issue.

Thank You all. With JohnMoonLord's information I am now successfully installing the Big World Project. I kept having to reinitiate the Big World Install, because for some reason it would not see the BPv180. After about 5 times I was going to post this info reinitialized the Big World Install to take a Screen Shot and then it recognized that it was there. So now all the Mods are now successfully installing. Funny how it does things like that. I thank you all.
