It is difficult to understand anything in weidu log cause i was forced to use english codepage during russian version installation...

Actually it's not that much, as the WeiDU.log still writes the .tp2 file names and component numbers well, and that's what's needed in the debugging, not the specific mod component names.

The Infinity Animations components didn't install because the required files were not present in the Infinity Animations sub-folder... that's that. The extraction or the download of the files failed.
The .txt file is nice, but you should know that putting it to a .zip archive reduces it's size about ten to hundred times, to about 400kbs at most, it's easier to up and download that way.

You need to change your codepage completely before installing either Aurora or Infinity Animations. See the readme or the instructions copied from it below (also should be in the FAQ in Jarno's signature).

Installing with non-ANSI compatible language systems
Baldur's Gate II uses the preset non-Unicode codepage to load resource files. Some of the resources in Infinity Animations use characters like £/µ/Þ/... which map to different numerical values. Therefore, if the installer detects a codepage other than the Windows-1252 "ANSI" codepage used with most Western languages, it will force a registry change to the 1252 codepage and prompt to reboot the system so the change takes effect. After the reboot, you can install the mod normally.

If you have a different codepage and wish to change it manually yourself (and only if), you can set the default system locale for non-Unicode applications to English. This can be done as follows on Windows systems:
-> Control Panel
-> Regional and Language Settings in Classic View (or Clock, Language and Region then Regional and Language Options in fancy view)
-> Click on the Advanced or Administrative tab
-> Then where it talks about non-Unicode programs, change the language to English

Edit: Also make sure the filenames are ok before attempting to install again - if not, download and re-extract them. They should begin with £/µ/Þ etc. If not, you can batch rename them so they have the right prefixes as listed in the .ids files packaged with the mod.

I have the same problem. I've done everything suggested, but that didnt help. Although my cmd and any other viewer displays the file names correctly, vecna installation still shows it as ?aa.2da . Any way to fix that?

vecna installation still shows it as ?aa.2da .

I'm not sure what that means. It shows that where, during install or what? If you have a DEBUG log or screenshot, post it (if it's huge, post it in SPOILER tags).

Edit: it should work if you follow the codepage instructions - also you want to start a new game after installing mods like this obviously, or it will crash.
