For a reason I have been unable to yet determine, Setup-BGT.exe keeps trying to check and install to "D\Baldur's Gate", and been running into the Incorrect Folder error since it's missing the colon ( : ). What is giving it this incorrect path? Editing 'Autopath.txt' has had little effect, other than generating errors about missing files since the installer repeatedly continues to look in incorrect paths.

Checking D\Baldur's Gate <--- And this is where it farks up. Whyyyyy? More importantly, BiG World Setup and its Debug logs do not show this line, nor the error. It simply pauses the script and then BiG World Setup must be closed.

Well, the v1.12 of the BGT actually makes this error happen, as the "*:*" structure is invalid by the insertion function itself.
Try it without the quote tags.

Finally managed to get it to work. Although BiG World Setup didn't show the error when running the script, after running Setup-BGT.exe myself, I ran into the error asking for the correct folder. So I closed Setup-BGT.exe's process tree, restarted BiG World Setup, continued installation, then entered D:\Baldur's Gate in the input field when the installer paused, and it worked like a charm :cheers:

Hmm, will look into this. Thanks for the report.
I also note a similar problem at http://www.shsforums...0&#entry522919.
Is this an issue with BWP and using quotes for the BGT installation, or more likely to be an isolated BGT issue? I don't remember my auto-installs failing and I use quotes.
