Hello.

When I run the BiG world install program everything installs fine up until BGT. But after BGT almost every mod fails to install. Many error messages say that I don´t have BGT installed (which reported that it was sucesfully installed) and that I don´t have ToB (Which I do) and that they can´t find files.


Is it possible that previous mods deleted or overwrote files?

Setings

Windows7
BG1 installed in C:\Users\Jeff\Desktop\BG1
BG2 installed in C:\BWP\BGII - SoA
6 Disc version of BG1

Oh and I downloaded all the mods manually without Big world setup (but I used the links given through the program).

(Not sure if this tells you guys something but anyway.)

Ok, so I did some experimenting.



On my previous attempt to install BiG the BiG world install error´s started happening right after BGT was installed.

So I did a complete reinstall. Then I installed BGT seperately without any other mods. The install worked and played without error´s.

Then I installed one of the mods that had failed previously (Yasraena). The install reported sucess and the game was playable.



I´m not a programer, so it´s possible that I´m just talking out of my ass here, but I assume that one/some of the mods that are installed before BGT are causing the errors. By overwrighting or deleating files or something like that.

So I´m wondering if anyone knows if any of these mods are known for being problematic in the BiG world install or BGT.

The mods that are automaticaly installed before BGT are the following.

All these mods reported being sucsesfully installed without error, and after BGT all the error´s started happening.

So do anyone have any idea? Any help is greatly appriciated.

[europe1]

Ok another report. I did another complete reinstall of the games. Then I disabled these following mods.


The Darkest Day, v1.14

TDD Character Kits

TORTURED SOULS v6.10 (BP Compatible Version)

Region Of Terror, v2.1

Region Of Terror Kit Pack

Shadows Over Soubar



The problem still remains, but I guess it narrows the list somewhat.

So does anyone have any idea what´s causing these error´s?

[europe1]

Okay another report.


I though that if I would be able to install the mods one by one I´d be able to figuer out which one was causing all the error´s.

So I started with the BiG fixpack, then I installed RoT, and will you belive it the game was broken by the very first mod I installed!



This is a bit discouraging to me since RoT was one of the mods I left out in my previous install attempt and that installation didn´t work either! So the RoT mod dosen´t work on it´s own, but it´s not the mod that corrupts the BiG installation program. Great.


So any tips on what to do here?

EDIT: BGT worked on it´s own through.

Post the actual error message you're getting (can be found in DEBUG files - post in SPOILER tags). It sounds like it could be a virus in bgmain.exe if it can't even recognise that (someone else had this happen recently).

Thanks for the reply. But I kind of got impatient and installed BGT seperately with some minor mods that seemed to work. I´m now well into the game (Cloakwood) and I just don´t have the patience to redo everything (BiG isn´t save game compatable from what I understand). So further assistanse isn´t really needed, still appriciete the effort through.


Did get a bit worried about the virus warning through. Scanned with Kasperskys and ad-adware but didn´t find anything.


Also, the DEBUG files arn´t the same as the BiG world debug text? I kind of did a totall reinstalltion (cleared the directory completely) so I don´t think I have the file any more unfortunately.

A .DEBUG file is what you get every time you install a mod. If a mod fails to install, that file will contain the full error message usually indicating why it failed.
