Hello all.

After getting the BG 4-in-1 boxed set running in Wine -on a Mac for testing- I tried BGT111 but ran into issues, it think because it is running batch scripts.

I decided to then install it in an XP instance on VirtualBox to make sure I knew what I was doing.

It is patching tilesets, etc. now...

It get me wondering if anyone has managed to create a method of bundling BG, BG-TotSC, BG2-SoA & BG2-ToB plus BTGv111 all-in-one?
I know in Guild Wars, I can copy the installed directory to and from devices and it will still play.
Can I do something of the sort with BG/BG2/BGT so I do not need to spend an hour or two re-installing things later?

Thanks for BGT!!

Do you mean that you wish to have a premade BGT ?
Well, you can do that by copying the game folder to another directory/drive/archive file(.zip/.rar etc.) which then becomes the backup, and when you are done with one, just delete that and move the backup to its place. On a PC, you can also have multiple working games simultaneously as the baldur.ini is used to show where the game files are and the BGMain.exe starts by reading the baldur.ini in it's folder(or something to that effect).
I personalty have had 7 to 10 working BG2 games simultaneously, and so I wrote this...
