Ugh. Okay, I literally spent 12 hours installing and reinstalling these f-ing games and I'm getting really annoyed. I have no clue what the f im doing wrong, and I'm still running into problems..

Now, this is what I understand from the directions.

1) install bg1 and bg2 in the same directory, for example c:\games\bg1 and c:\games\bg2 ...done, i get that.
2) once installed, run each game, and quick save...done, i get that
3) get the mods and files you need before installation....
a) big world trimpack v11
b) big world fixpack v11
c) big world install pack v11.1
d) bg2 fixpack
e) weidu
f) restored text music, if doing bgt
g) BGT
okay..done, i get that.

4) now, extract these files into main BG2 directory..done

now there is where my problem starts

5) you say to run big world install. bat? ..i run it..then what?
6) Once I run into the game selection, I pick (b) GT, then it says bg1-check, there is no folder in baldurs gate in the same directory. type here the divergent path for your bg1 directory...etc...

so then i type " c:\games and i press enter, and instead of the missing override files, i have missing data and movie files, when I actually have them..so i get stuck there... so i re roll the install, and go to the same window and instead of c:\games, i type in c:\games\baldurs gate. and i get stuck at a bg1-patch-check, and nothing happens..

now, then i re roll the installer again, and in the game selection menu, i now choose BG2 (o)nly because I don't really know what I'm doing now.

Then it won't go any further because it can't find bg2fixpack when i already have it in the directory. So i close it, then i run BG2fixpack, and install it, then run Big world install again. This is where I get a lil further. I go back to BG2 (o)nly. This time, I get pass through which i want to install, so i choose ®ecommended . Then it checks all the mods in my bg2 folder and reads BGT, bg2 fixpack, and bgt worldmap.

I then continue. And it runs all this stuff, and suddenly it says access is denied, but allows me to continue, so i do, and brings me to the "let the madness begin" and i try to install it, but when i do, access is denied starts spamming, and a patch.exe comes up, and pops up another cmd window and it just hangs there..and nothing..

I have no idea what I'm doing....sorry :[ any help please?
