Desperate beginner requires idiot-proof instructions for installing a

12 March 2012 - 04:09 AM

Hallo Anybody

I have recently bought the GOG versions of Bg1 and 2 and wish to add somew basic mods to enhance this game which i loved when I played it many years ago.

I read various posts readmes etc and downloaded various mods and based on this came to the conclusion that the BiG World Project would serve my needs best. So I followed the instructions in the readme and it all seemed to work okay then the installer said it had failed to download or "fetch"(?) a critical file (Throne of Bhaal Hacks 0.5.1: The Mod itself (ToBHacks_v0.5.1.zip)*. I checked if that had been one of the files I had downloaded from the linklist and it was but I was unable to open it and I'm afraid accidentally assigned it to use adobe acrobat as its default program (don't ask me how that happened!!)and since then I have tried to delete it and download it again but it seems to be permanently attached to adobe. I tried reinstalling the games and using the installer again several times and then finally gave up in frustration as it was then pretty late at night.

I am hoping someone can take pity on a clueless technophobe and tell me how best to resolve this.

Should I uninstall the games and delete all the files and then try downloading them again (I found that many of the files I downloaded were ultimately not ones I wanted in the final install)?

Right now I am extremely confused and in need of patient expert help.

Any assistance would be most appreciated.
