Do what you want / what's more compfy for you.
Guess you know that you can't use your saves (but you can use it to import you charakter) after that.

How can I get BWS to install to a directory that is not on the C: drive?   My OS drive is limited in size and I have installed my BG2 install to w:\\Black Isle\BGII - SoA

 

 

When i run Big World Setup.vbs it cannot locate baldur.exe.... which is in the folder.     My install works fine but I cannot get past the inital config of the BWS

 

Im running win 7 x64

Uhm, you're sure you didn't choose BG2EE instead of a BiG World Project installation? The output would be something similar.

[coralzombie]

Yes that would be the problem, I was selecting BG2EE.   I have the .bat file so should if  I choose Big World Install.bat (fixed and well tried)  -tactics can I customize the different mods I want or is it going to use a preset list until I modify the .bat?

[dabus]

Batch will use the batch to install -- meaning you can select mods and tactics installation but the components are fixed until you edit the batch yourself.
BWS installs are customizable by clicking through a gui (a treeview where you can select mods by theme, by a single mod or by a component).

[coralzombie]

RIght now the .vbs is downloading mods, I did the link test and it showed 3 were missing. My last question is will I see this treeview after the downloads?   I ask because it is downloading RoT and I do not want to install that into my game.  i have had problems with that Mod and would rather not use it.

[dabus]

It's on the same page as the folder selection.
Exit, don't resume and read the text about the different pre-compilations and how to edit them -- just press the button to the right if you're still missing it.

nm was able to find it.

How do i pick the individual mods and components for the BGEE 1 and 2 installs?

How do i pick the individual mods and components for the BGEE 1 and 2 installs?

I would expect it to be the very same way you do with the normal BG2 game, AKA you push the "..." button directly next to the Compilation button.

[dabus]

If you already got the mods, you can just skip the download-part (where you can also decide what to do on install, extraction errors).
WeiDU is reloaded every time on purpose (because different versions have the same byte-size, so replacing files is a bit different as expected).
Other stuff may be either corrupted, download-sizes may not be detected by wget as they should, servers may not be responding...

If you are curious, you can take a look at the BiG World Setup\Logs\BiG World Download Debug.txt.

File looks like this:

BWInstallpack[]= BiG World Installpack v11.1.7z = 976974
<= NA

Expected for BWInstallpack is file BiG World Installpack v11.1.7z with size 976974. That's locally not available.

hammers[]= hammers-v3.zip = 778173
<= hammers-v3.zip <> 255160

This file exists on the local hdd, but size differs (here 255160 bytes).

JA#BGT_Tweak[]= JA_BGT_Tweak-1.71.zip = 9766894
<= JA_BGT_Tweak-1.71.zip = 9766894

Meaning: This file exists with same size.

[dabus]

After that, you get a response Your files can be found at %s, where %s is the folder that was used.
That should be ~the parent-folder of the BiG World Setup~\BiG World Backup\Saved_BWS (or maybe BWP).

Hey all,

 

First off, just wanted to say that this program is absolutely amazing!  Just made my modding life a billion times easier, thank you for all the hard work!

 

Unfortunately, I'm having a slight problem with the program currently for my modded BGEE game .  I am at the point where BWS is extracting all the necessary files for my selection of mods.  The problem is, is that it is trying to extract the WeiDU.exe file.  The file is present in the main install directory for BGEE, but BWS keeps saying that it cannot continue without this file.

 

Here is the debug error for the WeiDU.exe extraction:

 

Checking WeiDU (Tool) ...
Extracting WeiDU.exe (0.9 MB)

The following process could not be started:
"F:\Downloads\BWS#2\bws_20140127\BiG World Setup\Tools\7z.exe" x "F:\Downloads\BWS#2\bws_20140127\BiG World Downloads\WeiDU.exe" -aoa -o"C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition".
This may be caused by several reasons.

ProcessWait-Error: 7z.exe
The following command failed to extract an archive:
"F:\Downloads\BWS#2\bws_20140127\BiG World Setup\Tools\7z.exe" x "F:\Downloads\BWS#2\bws_20140127\BiG World Downloads\WeiDU.exe" -aoa -o"C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition"
This may be caused by several reasons.

 

Hopefully there is a solution!

[dabus]

Edit the BiG World Setup\Config\BGEE\Game.ini by moving WeiDU from ExtractOnly to DownloadOnly.

Looks like that (right at the top):

ExtractOnly=eekeeper
DownloadOnly=WeiDU

Then open the parent folder and edit User.ini. Search for WeiDU=0 underneath [Current] and remove that line.
Edit Setup.ini in the same folder and remove the WeiDU-line underneath the [Faults]-section at the bottom,

Restart and resume the install.

Worked perfectly, thank you!

Yesterday I installed BWP with BWS, and only one component could not be installed because of error:

 

ERROR: [VICONI.cre] -> [override] Patching Failed (COPY) (Failure("Conflict in priority list."))

ERROR: Failure("Conflict in priority list.")

Enemy items shatter (BGT Tweak Pack (9 Feb 12)) was not installed due to errors.ERROR: [VICONI.cre] -> [override] Patching Failed (COPY) (Failure("Conflict in priority list."))

ERROR: Failure("Conflict in priority list.")

Enemy items shatter (BGT Tweak Pack (9 Feb 12)) was not installed due to errors.

 

I customized Standard selection of mods. There were no conflict or dependency problems before installation. What went wrong here?
