Hi everyone!

I'm an italian guy and i'm trying to install BGT 1.15.
I've done the following:
- Complete installation of BG + ToSC + Patch 5512
- Complete installation of BGII + ToB + Patch 26498

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit
I've got an error installing BGT, i've attached the debug file.

I have a complete installation of BGI, but in the Baldur.ini file the references to CD1, CD2, etc point to the disk driver not to my HD:

Spoiler

HD0:=C:\Black Isle\Baldur's Gate\
CD1:=E:\CD1\
CD2:=E:\CD2\
CD3:=E:\CD3\
CD4:=E:\CD4\
CD5:=E:\CD5\
CD6:=E:\CD6\

Check if you have <BG2 install directory>\bgt\install\win32\x86\tis2bg2.exe correctly in this location. Looks like the installation could not start tileset conversion because the shell didn't like a command. Also check you have <BG2 install directory>\bgt\include\tis2bg2.tpa.

Check if you have <BG2 install directory>\bgt\install\win32\x86\tis2bg2.exe correctly in this location.

And that there is no "/Programs Files/" or "/Programs Files (x86)/" as part of the install folder, as the shell could missfire if the files are not writable in the location... cause Windows 7.

[Thorik]

Thank you both for your disponibility.
Anyway, I solved the problem simply re-installing another Baldur's Gate CD version.
Now I can enjoy BGT!

Similiar problem but I don't have a CD version of BG...

I have the correct versions of BG1 and 2, windows 7 ultimate 64bit, I followed all the instructions but nothing: I always get some error during installation.

Here the debug file:

Tnx in advice




Edit: I've tried to install all again in the directory C:\Black Isle and so on... but the problem stills the same...

Nothing...I've tried all but it was useless =/

[hook71]

It seems a little odd that two italian users are posting exactly the same problem at the same time. Here and in this thread.

[Ascension64]

Yes, strange. Both have the same error. Something in the following code is hanging up. I'll check what the error actually means with the bigg.

Conversione dei tilesets in corso. Potrebbe richiedere parecchio tempo...

i have an installation problem too (english version). during the process i get an error message about missing files from the override folder of bg1, starting with karoug.cre
i can bypass it by finding any other .cre file, making a copy and renaming it as karoug (already done it with this and other missing files), but that causes problems in game, the most comon of which is that i cannot talk to most npc

EDIT
never mind, i found the problem. turns out that the supposedly "patched to the latest version" 4 in 1 pack i have is not patched at all. i got the patches on and now it works fine

Hmm, no further progress yet.
However, can you please try popping the following tp2 into your bg2 install directory (overwrite the existing), try and re-install in Italian language, and post the DEBUG file once you get the error again. All I have added is some extra PRINT so we can work out exactly at what instruction the installation stalls.

Great, thanks! We now have found an error. I wonder what the issue is here, but will let the bigg know.
In the meantime, try unzipping the attached AREA440X.zip into the <BG1 install directory>/DATA directory and try installing BGT again.

Could you please also attach your ./Baldur's Gate/DATA/AREA440X.BIF file so that we can analyse it?

It works now!!!!
Thank you very much

[Ascension64]

Could everyone who is having this problem please state what edition/language of BG1 they have and where they obtained it from?
It may be a copy that is distributing corrupted BIFF files.

[Ascension64]

Ahem, please for people who use this fix note http://www.shsforums...ost__p__544988.

I want to know what what edition/language of BG1 you have and where you got your copy of BG1 from.

[melkor_morgoth75]

I'm wondering if they are orignal copies of the game btw ... as we have no version/answer...
