I am using Windows 7  - 64bits. I have installed both Baldur's Gate game with their expansion, aswell as patched BG1 to US5512 and BG2 to 26498.

So here's what I did.

1. Installed Baldur's Gate in C:\Program Files\Black Isle\Baldur's Gate
2. Installed Baldur's Gate : Tales of the Sword Coast  in C:\Program Files\Black Isle\Baldur's Gate
3. Installed Baldur's Gate 2 : Shadows of Amn in C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA
4. Installed Baldur's Gate 2 : Throne of Bhaal in C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA
5. Downloaded and installed the patch "US5512" for Baldur's Gate 1.
6. Downloaded and installed the patch "26495" for Baldur's Gate 2 : Throne of Bhaal.
7. Downloaded and Unzipped "BGT-WeiDU 1.15" inside C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA
8. Launched it, selected, No for readme, I to install, Y to the correct default directory.

However, I always receive an error during the "Implrementing Experience Patch" section of the install.

Here's the area where it fails:

===========================================================================================

Implementing experience patch...
Copying and patching 1 file ...
ERROR: error loading [bgmain.exe]
Stopping installation because of error.
Stopping installation because of error.

ERROR Installing [Baldur's Gate Trilogy - Core], rolling back to previous state
===========================================================================================

I've also attached the whole Setup-BGT.DEBUG to the topic.


Thanks in advance,

LordAzuRa


Update: Re-installed both game without the FixPack. Now, the error states "error loading [bgmain.exe]" instead of "ERROR: cannot convert warn or %warn% to an integer"

Is another program locking the EXE, or UAC preventing its modification?
Turn of anti-virus and other background scanning software, and see if that helps things.

[lordazura]

Tried after a fresh restart and a fresh installation. I have no image mounted in virtual drives and my Anti-Virus is already disabled. Also tried to run setup-bgt.exe "As Administrator".

PS: Is it normal that my BGMain.exe and BGMain2.exe file in my Baldur's Gate folder have an old windows Icon and that I cannot run them?
When double clicking the GBMain.exe file, I receive the following message:

Assertion:
An Asswertion failed in D:\Dec\chitin\ChDimm.cpp at line number 581
Programmer says: Unable to Open BIF:data\SFXSound.bif

Is that a normal behaviour for this file? If not, if there somewhere I can get both BGmain files from someone?

PPS: Thanks in advance

Be sure to install both BG1 and BG2 outside the Program Files directories (I use C:\Games). Older games have problems working correctly in that folder.

I've recently tried with my Baldur's Gate in C:\Black Isle\Baldur's Gate. However, I had noticed that I had mistakenly re-instal my BG2 is still in the Program Files folder. What I did was to copy and paste all the files from my Baldur's Gate 2 folder in my Program Files to add it in the C:\Black Isle. Do you believe it could have created a conflict?

PS: I'll take a try at uninstalling it and installing it out of the Program files.

Thanks,

Looks like everything is installing itself properly after I've uninstalled and re-installed Baldur's Gate 2 outside the Program Files.

Note: Maybe it would be necessary to edit the Read-Me to include that? Or make a post about it in troubleshot or somethign like it


Setup is still ongoing, I'll replay to this topic is something happens before the end of the installation.

The aim is for BGT to install into whatever folder you want it to be in. I have tested installs on my own system where I have specified a folder like "C:\!@#$%^&()_+-=ABC 123\" and it installs properly.
I would like to find out exactly the problem is here. I am not sure whether there is something within Win7 64-bit that is the issue here. With the standard BG2 install on your OS, do all the files install to the same directory?

Yes they do. I have made sure that not a single files were missing after installing them in the default directory (Program Files (x86)\Black Isle\). On three different uninstall/install attempt, there was always an error when implementing the Experience Patch.
Please note that running the setup another time (after the first failure) resulted in the following error instead of the one mentioned in the original post:
ERROR: cannot convert warn or %warn% to an integer

Then, the error stayed the same until I do a fresh install. (Tried by deleting all the setup file without success).


Note that I also made sure to do a full custom install for BG1 as well as a full install for BG2 before each attempt.

I am the only administrator of my computer. Furthermore, I've disabled any window's registry/file scanning. Henceforth, I never need to do "Run as Administrator", so it can't be the case.

Hi to all!
I also have a problem of installation, this is what i did:
- a clear installation of BG1 and BG2 (patched 5512 and 26498) in this folders
D:\programmi\black isle\Baldur's Gate\
D:\Programmi\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\
- no mega-mod installed
- turn off antivirus and user account control
- run setup-bgt with flagged "run as administrator"

during the conversion of tilesets (after the correct processing of 4 areas) I receive this message:

Error : Cannot map input area WED file

Stopping installation because of error.


Could be a solvable problem?

Thanks in advance,
Bellatrix

Ascension64 is trying to debug the problem in this thread.

[Ascension64]

Hi Lord. I think you have to download the Baldurs Gate 2 Fixpack after the TOB patch and then the WeiDU.

No, this is not necessary. It is recommended only.

[Jarno Mikkola]

Hy all!
I have the same problem..is it solved yet?

Which... this is exactly why you need to start your own thread and give a lot of info !!!!

[Jarno Mikkola]

Ah, you have the common Windows problem.

Had you actually read this thread, you would have known:
