Thank you for the quick replies, I tried listening to your suggestions, but I am still not getting satisfactory results. The "BiG World v9.1 english" pdf file that I've been using as a guide listed disabling the UAC and the PCA as a special case only for windows Vista. Therefore, after sifting through the link that you provided Jarno Mikkola, I quickly changed my computer user account settings as suggested. However to no avail, none of those above two changes (disable the UAC, and the PCA) seem to have any overall effect. My instillation still fails.

I was able to find a temporary test subject... in order to check and see if either I was doing something wrong, or my computer was the screwy one. And the BWP setup completed without fail on the second windows XP based system.



So now, I'm trying to figure out what exactly could be making my computer incompatible with the Big World Project setup.exe...

In regards AndrewB's outline of the instillation proces:

>You download, unpack, and run the Big World Setup utility.
>It auto-updates itself, requiring that it be restarted for updates to take effect.
>You close it. It subsequently pops back up, having been updated and is now ready to go.
>You go through the entire Big World Setup process, following the instructions as you go along.
>Big World Setup concludes.
>You will now have a file in your BG2 folder called "Big World Install.bat". This is the actual file that you will need to run to start the hours long install process.
>Run the file.
>Black DOS console type box pops up and prompts you for some preliminary information.
>Afterwards, some white text will start scrolling like mad as shit gets installed.

(this is where my computer cuts everything short. i think this is shown in my debug text, but being a complete noob, I am not sure how to interpret the Debug txt, so I will post it)

Hunk #1 succeeded at 23 with fuzz 2.

I'm not sure what to make of all of this. Has anyone ever incurred a problem like this before. Again, any comments would be appreciated.

I don't want to sound like a complete idiot. But, I've been trying to get this to install for the past few days, and I've had absolutely no luck what so ever. Im not sure if the minimal install is even successful on my system. (I'm running windows 7)

My first question is, how exactly does one know if the instillation finishes correctly? Does say anything? Or does the CMD window just close. I can't find any visual walkthroughs, some I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is typical. I've read that the last and final part of "The Big World setup" with the actual instillation is supposed to take anywhere between 2-6hours. Under this minimal option, mine completes in a matter of minutes (even from a completely clean install)... if that indicates a problem I have no idea what I'm doing wrong... Any suggestions?

Secondly, I'm a complete noob, as this is even my first post on these forums, so I don't have any experience with any Baldur's Gates mods at all. How does one activate the Baldur's Gate Trilogy? Again, I hope I don't like a complete idiot, but when I launch Baldur's Gate Throne of Bhaal, after the setup (supposedly is finished???) I don't see any changes. In fact the game appears to be exactly the same. Are the changes very small, or should it be noticeable. Also, how does one get the original Baldurs Gate to use the BG2 engine. I couldn't figure it out.


seriously, any comments would be appreciated, even if they are simply links to incredibly obvious things you think I should have already read. I've scoured the gigantic 246pg "BiG World v9.1 english" pdf file, but I can't seem to find any more information.

thanks in advanced,
