Thanks, I've actually already been considering disabling the UAC. And that is a great post you linked me to, answers a lot of other questions I had as well.

I wonder if I actually helped any, though?

Sure you did, when you pointed out the fact that the files didn't appear to be correct, I decided to investigate more. It turned out that many files weren't removed even after uninstalling (especially check the hidden folders in the user profile). So I realized that an uninstall was not good enough to provide the fresh< unaltered files that were required.

So never trust an uninstall to do a complete job of something. Now my only problem is getting Shadowkeeper to edit files in the Program Files directory on a Windows 7 OS. Not even the compatibility mode (Run as Administrator) works. SOO frustrating. At least when I use Gatekeeper I can make a fake directory elsewhere, but Shadowkeeper automatically chooses the directory.

I'll figure it out soon I think. . . .

Actually, most of your other posts have been helpful when I am searching for help, so mostly the thanks is for that, just always being willing to help.

Success!! I actually uninstalled both games again, this time I completely removed any Baldur's Gate folders after as well (however saving my Characters and Save folders). Then I did the same as last time, and also installing the fixpack, then BGT. It works wonderfully now.

Oh, and a note, I had to create a folder to extract BGT into, then move the files to my BG2 folder because of administrative permissions (couldn't extract directly to the BG2 folder).

I will now begin installing several other mods (those which seem practical and don't change the game too much).

I already solved my problem for exporting and importing a character. Is there no way to convert a vanilla BG game to a BGT / BG2 game? Not too important really, but would be nice.

Oh, and thanks so much for your help, you do great work!

Okay, thanks, I tried that, and it skipped that file ARGHAI.CRE. However, it now has a problem with the another line in that same grouping which involves BANDCR.CRE. I will send copies of the Debug again, and also these two files, I don't think it will be logical to remove all these files, however, I am uncertain as to their direct purpose in the end result. The ".CRE" appears to be some creature attribute files. I'm not completely sure, it might be fine to use the original, if the intention was to place BG2 styles into the first game. But of course, my knowledge is limited on it's purpose. I just hope that only these two files are corrupted, and no other files.

Could it possibly be related to administrative permissions? I mean, we are changing files within the Program Files folder. When I edited the Setup-BGT.tp2 file I had to place on my desktop first, change it, then save and put it back. However, I did have to already give Administrative permission at the start of the install, but who knows.

Anyway, sorry for taking so long to respond, I guess I didn't get an update on your response till today.

Here are the files:
 SETUP-BGT.DEBUG   2.33MB   540 downloads
 ARGHAI.CRE   1.13K   289 downloads
 BANDCR.CRE   1.17K   322 downloads

Thanks.

I believe I got the same error. I just noticed this is a recent post, so I hope I can get some answers. I am running Windows 7 64-bit. I installed BG1+TotSC with the corresponding patch and BG2+ToB with it's corresponding patch. It always seems to cause an error when it reaches the bugfix section. I had previously attempted to install BGT, before I realized I had to install the BG2fixpack before the BGT install. I cancelled the install, then tried again. When I realized there already existed some fixes in the BGT I decided to continue the install without the pack. I gave me this error.

I then Reinstalled both games completely with the patches and tried again, and installed the BG2fixpack this time, same problem.

Is there anything I can do to fix this, I remember reading somewhere that I should check to make sure all the AR###.bif and stuff are actually in my current installs. But I don't know if this is related, and what I should do about it.

Any help will be great. Thanks.

Note: I could never play BG1 with my original OS of Vista 32-bit, except immediately after install, then it would only give me errors after that, even with compatibilty mode of XP. With Windows 7 it seems to work as long as I run it as an administrator. So maybe my computer just has problems. . . .  SETUP-BGT.DEBUG   2.33MB   736 downloads
Just added my own .DEBUG file to go with it, I think it is the same problem. . . I might just give up on the trilogy idea
