From what I understand - you have a correct EET installation, the one that contains your logs you posted. You got remnants old old games that you clutter with that new one and -  as expected - you get crap. You can have multiple game installation but you need to configure them correctly if you want to use them independently. You cannot mix them like you did.

Sorry, I know it's confusing -- no, I never have multiple installations. The second BG2 installation I mentioned was simply a file archive (a backup, really) of an old, working copy. I extracted it just to get files from a working installation, and when I did, I tested it to make sure it worked. If I install a game, I uninstall it first, and I never have multiple copies when I install.

You can do this - delete (or move to a save place outside of documents) all the folders in mydocuments that refer to Baldurs Gate - ALL.
Go to the BG2EE you have on D: verify that in engine.lua you have this
engine_name = "Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition Trilogy"
and start baldur.exe directly out of this D:.../BG2EE directory. Select a campaign and create a player. Check in the mydocuments that a new folder named "Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition Trilogy" is created.
 
This should solve it. You may afterwards need to open the Baldur.lua in the newly created folder if you want to activate the console and cheats for the new game, not sure about that.

Yeah Check, Check. Check. Check. I do each of these before I run BWS to make sure I have a clean system. BWS has fouled up my system somehow. I went through the process again (a couple times) with just a minimal config on BWS. Initially BG2EE works fine. After running BWS, the BG2EE game brings up BG1.

I know what to do now. It's just going to be a pain in the ass. I have to do a manual installation. And I have to be sure I get everything right. I don't see how that could corrupt a working installation.

Edit: I just found BWS-EE. I'm going to try that.

So I wondered, did everything go ok on the installation other than the nutty BG2->BG1 deal? I copied weidu.exe, weidu.conf, and all the directories from my new installation on top of my older, working version. Load up the program -- at first it comes up ToB. So I switch it to SoA and exit. The next time I run the program? Just like the C: installation -- now it's loading BG1.

How many instances of the game did you install?

I just installed BG1 and BG2EE once each. I wipe all the BG files off the drive before installing too.

Did you start up the games you have used for the EET installation before use?

I started each game beforehand and saved.

When you open the file engine.lua in the BG2EE directory with a text editor, do you see such a line

 

engine_name = "Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition Trilogy"

The engine_name is correct for each.

Is there a folder of the name in your user/myuserid/documents?

There are folders for the different games in my Documents directory.

Do you use baldur.exe from BG2EE directory to start, not some client or whatnot?

I go straight to the game .exe in Explorer and double-click. This is bizarre. The new BG2EE installation is on D:. I unzipped an installation I had archived on C: (still to C:). So now I have a new, buggy installation on D: and an older, working version on C:. Copy working Baldur.exe to D: and overwrite existing file. The once-working BG2EE.exe now loads BG1. Copy the file back to the old installation on C:-- now it loads BG2 again. Weird. It doesn't solve my problem though...

Edit: Sorry, that post was incomprehensible.

Could you post the WeiDU-BGEE.log and the WeiDU.log that are in your BG2EE directory as attachments?

Just use the *More Reply Options* button you see at the bottom of the window when you type your post.

Here you go. Thanks again.

Ignore this post, sorry.
