Yet another BWP Install Problem Thread

05 December 2011 - 08:16 AM

After having spent the better part of 14 hours downloading and attempting to install the BWP onto my GoG versions of BG1 and BG2, and encountering and figuring out the solution to an extensive list of problems, I've finally reached the point where I'm completely stumped. I apologize in advance if this problem has been dealt with on these boards in the past, however, I could find no similar occurrence in my searches.

I'm using windows 7 and the GoG versions of BG1 and 2
I have installed them to a BWP folder at the root of the C drive
Turned off UAC
Added a BG2-ToBPatchReadMe.txt file to the "c:\bwp\BGII - SOA" folder
Moved the 25movies file from "c:\bwp\BGII - SOA\data\movies" to "c:\bwp\BGII - SOA\CD5\movies"
Edited the .ini files to ensure the directories match
Run BG1, SoA, and ToB and saved games
My current game versions are up-to-date and I have not attempted to patch
I have downloaded the mods for the Standard version of BWP with the help of the Big World Setup, and found the files manually that failed to download
I have extracted these files into a separate directory as a backup, then copied the extractions to my BGII - SOA folder

Running the batch file as an administrator, the install cannot get past the "BG1-Patch-Check." Finding no solution online, I attempted to edit the batch file to skip the bg1 patch check, which was successful until about 5 seconds into the installation of files, after which the batch file crashed.

I'm really not sure where I went wrong here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
