scifier

After a frustrating week of trying to get Big World to load I have come to the conclusion that 1) the installer just doesn't work and 2) the installer definitely doesn't work for me.  I have followed all the instructions, turned off all the security software, and still do not have a working game.  I have manually installed mods, hundreds each, for Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout3, so I wonder if it might just be better to manually install these mods.  It would be time consuming, but I would not be at the mercy of some buggy install program that seems to delight in finding a new way of crashing my installation each time I run it.  Is there a list of mods for the Tactics version that includes the installation order?  I would be willing to spend ten evenings or so putting these mods in.  Running Big World Installer again?  Not so sure about that one.

This is my fourth night trying to install this thing, which has only caused more frustration. Clean install of everything, checked off all the files that it says I don't have, even though in some cases I do have them. But the one that really galls is the These selected mods are missing:

WeiDU (Tool) 229
Finished.

When I look in the debug file it says that Checking WeiDU (Tool) 229
Archive WeiDU-Windows-229.zip is missing. I made sure that I had this file, again, and got the message: Checking WeiDU (Tool) 229
The archive does not have the correct size. What in the heck is wrong with this thing and how do I correct this problem? I could only find one example of WeiDU-Windows-229 on the internet and haven't been able to find anything with the name WeiDU (Tool) 229 anywhere. I know without this file the whole setup is going to crash, so I'm not moving on until I know what the heck the right file is and how I can get this buggy installer to recognize it. Help, someone, before I reach the point where I just have to give up on this thing.
