From what I have learned this is the best way to install Big World Planet on windows 7 pc and get it to work.

1.Turn off firewalls and UAC.

2.Install Bg and Tales of sword coast, make sure you select custom and click on all boxes, do not install into any program files folder, what I do is I just erase the program files part of the path, it will say not enough space but just click yes, patch with version 5512.

3.Play a new Bg game, save and exit.

4.Install Bg2 and TOB, make sure you do a full install, do not install into any program files folder, what I do is I just erase the program files part of the path, patch with version 26498.

5.Play a new Bg2 game, save and exit, play a new TOB game, save and exit.

6.Run Big World Setup, I think latest version is 9.10, extract to your BgII directory and click on automatic.

7.Make sure the installation paths match where your game is actually installed, change the downloads section to your BGII folder.

8.Select Standard version which is the only one Ive been able to make work, probably click on Do not install foreign-language mods and click on Further customization of your mod-settings.

9.Click on Backup, then continue.

10.Uncheck Legion of Hell(wont download), Level 1 NPCS(install this last) and Nikitalleria NPC(wont extract and cant seem to manually download it).

11.BWS will now download mods, after its done it will probably say that it couldnt download certain mods, you can try to download them on your own if you really want them or you can just remove them from the list(if you cant find them, remove them).

12.BWS will now extract all mods, once again after its done it will probably say it couldnt extract certain mods, manually extract them.

13.NOW STOP!!! Follow these instructions, exit BWS, when the cmd window comes up close it. Go to your BGII folder and find Big World Install.bat, right click and select edit. Search for the part where it says baldurs gate is installed in a program file folder and change that to where your actual Baldurs Gate game is installed. Now you can go ahead and run the Big World Install.bat and wait a really long time.

14.Last but not least, you can install level1npcs, I would say no to optionals and just go with changing the npcs to what you like.

Whoot, im going for my 50th try at installing bwp.... I have until july 5th since thats when i go back to work. I hope i get it to work before then lol.

Oh yea, also I cant install level one npcs I keep getting this ERROR: problem parsing TP file [LEVEL1NPCS/LEVEL1NPCS.TP2]: Not_found

Ok, another question, what if any npcs will transfer from bg to bg2 using bwp? I want to have a party in bg that will transfer over to bg2 with same stats and everything.

All these problems never happened before, they just started happening when I ran the setup again recently and it updated itself. Before I even had it installed in program files x86 and it installed and worked like a charm.
