Thanks, again. - I know there were problems with some of those, so I will implement those suggestions and see what happens.

Test Person, if you want log like before, open "install.bat" in BiG World Installpack and change:

 

:Install_Normal
Setup-%~1.exe --language %2 --skip-at-view --noautoupdate  --no-exit-pause --force-install-list %~3 --logapp 

to

:Install_Normal
Setup-%~1.exe --language %2 --skip-at-view --noautoupdate  --no-exit-pause --force-install-list %~3 --logapp | %M%

Thanks, - noted.

Okay, - well these are some other notes I have made in the process of cleaning up the install process and debugging things. - I have tried to keep them relevant to this thread:

 

The setup and .tp2 files are incorrectly named for the Auror Kit, and need to be renamed to Setup-Auror.exe and Setup-Auror.tp2 in order for the BWP installer to recognise it. - As far as I can tell, so far, renaming the .exe and .tp2 do not cause issues with the installation of the mod ..and, yes, I know that this is probably something the modder should correct.

 

Both Ghareth NPC and Turnabout drop an ar6200.baf file into the main installation directory, with one overwriting the other.

 

Several mods also include utilities to facilitate installation (eg: oggdec.exe, tisunpack.exe, and WeiDU.exe), and these utilities can easily end up overwriting more recent versions of the same file, which will adversely affect most BWP and BWS installs. - The latest version of WeiDU is a linked download, but could oggdec.exe and tisunpack.exe be bundled with the installpack to prevent version incompatibilites and inconsistencies?


In order to get the installer to play nice with Tortured Souls (for BP) it seems to be necessary to modify the link.list file entry, like so:

 

TS-BP=Tortured Souls TS

You can look in the normal debug-files while it's not working.

You're right, - in BWS I found that errors were normally in the main installer log file, not the .debug files, but it is the other way round with BWP. - Thanks.

BWP appears to currently lack full logging, ie: there it does not seem to log errors and warnings. - I had a whole load of critical warnings displayed last night and now, today, I find the only log that was produced was BiG World Debug.txt, which details none of the errors or warnings.
