Thanks, now I am running into some install.bat issues.  I think that this is because I did not turn off UAC and instead just hit "OK".  I have noticed that it says, "applying tweak pack to XYZ" and every time I restart that file name changes to the next one in the alphabet.  I am worried that if I fix this issue by disabling UAC that it will skip over the first few files when it is applying the patch.  I am not sure if I have to redo the entire install at this point.

Edit:  I think I fixed them.  I ran Trimpack, fixpack and install pack from an administrative command line.  I was able to boot into the game and clearly things have changed.  My res is higher, the initial UI is different and I have more class options.  I think it worked though I will have to test it out further later this week.  Thank you for this great software.

I just used this.  The Auden mod didn't work because his Mediafire account has been suspended.  A handful of other media fire mods seemed to not auto download, but I got them manually: Randomizer, Volcanic, Kariv, wikaede, item revisions.  I will test later and let you know how it works.

In Topic: BWP Repack?

I think that the modders are extremely hypocritical when they are willing to appropriate Black Isle IP without permission but then get upset if someone uses their mod with attribution in a way that they didn't explicitly authorize. That being said, what is the difference between the repack that he describes and a BWS which remotely fetches the files? Would the admins of this site allow OP to make a repack of every mod whose creator approves and then have some way to integrate the few remaining mods? If I could download 1 repack and then 5 misc. mods that would be much, much easier then doing the whole thing by hand.

Thank you for taking this project on.  I own both BG1 and BG2, but I don't really want to go through and individually download each file.  You mentioned that there is some custom XML data structure that you are using.  Perhaps you could upload a sample to Github so that people can start adding addresses.  I am not programmer, but I could add some links to XML.

So I was able to get the files from BWS.  Then I ran BWI and it hung part way through.  It also got quite a few error messages, specifically around Big World Fixpack.  Now BG won't launch.  

Anyone have an idea about how to diagnose / fix this?

Debug log attached.
