In Topic: How to install BWP for newbies (and up)

Hi everyone!

I'm attempting my first Big World installation, but .bat keeps telling me to "press any key to continue" during BG1 patch check..
I've pointed the correct folder (for me it's "C:\Games\Baldur's Gate" - also I don't understand what "derivative path" means)

Patching with BGTalesUS5512.exe didn't help.

I'm using GOG versions of the game on XP SP3..
Sorry if this has been answered before but I'm new here, thanks in advance :)

Please use the fixed BiG world install.bat in my sig - and don't patch the GOG version at all - it's arleady fully patched.


When I run your install.bat the dos box flashes briefly and then disappears, it doesn't bring up the install prompts like it normally does. I don't know if the d&d master anthology collection version is the same as gog but the version you had before this brought up the install box on mine. That version kept erroring out on all the installs but that may have been due to the 1.13 version of bgt.

Ok so after downloading another version from a different thread because the latest version doesn't work for me, I just get a huge amount of errors where it doesn't think I have throne of baal or won't install for other reasons. I have the master anthology disc collection that has all the infinity engine games on it. On a side note do I need to extra the bg 1 mods like dsotsc into the bg1 directory because it didn't notice I had any of those any all very fully extracted to the bg ii directory.

I read the guide but after rereading I missed the part where you have to run the exes to extract first and then exit the installation. I just assumed having the exe was enough.

Ok so looks like this was a problem for anyone with the gog version and it carries over to the anthology. I dl'd another version mentioned in a thread and I get past the infinite patch check but it doesn't recognize that I have the bg2 fix pack in my bg II directory now. I even tried renaming it from to just bg2fixpack and that doesn't seem to do it. So one problem solved one more pops up.
