Well, you can throw away the BWS if you don't trust the AutoIt3.exe.

Never trust.

The BWS is a script that uses AutoIt3, a basic-like script-language.
You can right-click the exe and look at the digital signature-tab.
This way you can confirm yourself where it's from and who coded it.

Nice, but has it a malware attached?

I will answer that, Yes.

The digital signature tab shows the old version (v3.2.12.1) of AutoIt3 included with BWS has an invalid signature, expired on 3/2/2009. Also the newer AutoIt3.exe (v3.3.6.1) I downloaded from the developpers' web site pass all AV tests.

The fix would to replace the old AutoIt3.exe as soon as you install BWS but a script is run when unpacking BWS so the trojan may infect the computer even before we are able to fix it. Better not use it in any way.

Your software seems to be a little unsure about this interpreter since you can do a lot of stuff. Some of it may be used to harm a system. As the BWS itself comes in source(=text)-format, you are free to check all the au3-scripts and look if they may screw you.

? Nonsense.

And what has that to do with "non Italian installs"?

Nothing.

no virus showing at all.

there were three showing, back in march, as per that scan on this page, further up.

I guess it is safe.

Just copy the setup-<modname>.exe of ANY other mod and rename it to Setup-resfixer.exe (all the mod setup.exe's are renamed versions of WeiDU.exe )

thanks Lollorian.

I was nicely able to do this, now I know how to install other mods that have this problem! there were a couple of others, no setup.exes.

for the record, though, in case other newbies to the user difficulties of these mods, the *real* name for
"setup_resfixer.exe" is......"setup_res_fixer.exe" !!
I was then able to get it installed.


I probably will just go on, now, and install from Bp onwards, "manually" using that big world pdf guide, leaving out the mods that need the big world fixer patches to work.

300 hours?
game might be that long, i do not need all of the mods, besides i have on my old win98 machine, the easy tutu bg1, unplayed!
then there is dragon age...oblivion, both neverwinter games, I am 68 years old, I might die of old age before finishing all of these games! thus i need not to get "all" the mods for baldurs gate II, i guess.

thanks for all your help, I will probably use the big world setup, next time, the other replier gave to me a clearer procedure on installing.

one of the hesitant reason why i did not drill down to find such helpful posts for installing big world is that i can only be at my computer for about an hour at a time, between my volunteering work at my senior home, my walks, my early to bedness, i wimp out at 8 PM, always have, thus computer time is relatively rare, thus i cannot want to have hours and hours of processing, plus here in North Florida, most of the summer afternoons is "computer lockdown" in the evenings as the lightning walks the sky, 99% of all lightning flashes are cloud to ground and Tallahassee gets over 80 thunderstorm DAYS per year, many storms have 10,000 Counted strokes!! pine trees are rare here in Tallahassee, they grow taller then lightning takes them out.

hi all.

does BP need the Big world "resfixer v1" ?!

Ah, another attempt to install baldurs gate II.

The big picture.

I began, last week to use the big world mega-install, to install their "standard" mod list, including Bp.
maybe my vista machine, even with UAC turned off did some thing weird to the install of this BW: I had placed the mods i wanted to use in the bg2 proper folder and low and behold the big world still had me to download *each* and every one on the mod list that they have! Then when I went ahead and used the "install program" that is part of big world, the install hung on the very first mod!
then i could see why!! "they" gave to me mods that I would never ever install myself, for bg2, even with the bg1 not selected, large numbers of music over-writes and one day npcs that i would never ever choose.

So Now I used, so far, the big picture install guide and manually install the mods i want and not use BW at all. Not using any mods that need to be fiddled with, with the BW install program


But there is a question with BIG PICTURE! in the list, just before the bp install, there is....

"Resource Fixer v1
~SETUP-RES_FIXER.TP2~
Some macros designed to fix various structural errors in creatures, items and spells. It's necessary to
get BP to install.
20.0.1. Copy the folder res_fixer and the files setup-res_fixer.exe and setup-res_fixer.tp2 from the folder
BiG World Fixpack into your main SoA directory.
20.0.2. Double-click the Setup. The DOS dialogue appears:
Install Component 0 [Resource Fixer]? [I]nstall
Successfully installed [Resource Fixer]"

there is no setup.exe
there is only the tp2 file, big world must use this in its install bat.


my question is....can I go ahead and install big picture, following that big world install pdf guide, WITHOUT using this fixer mod?
As i am not using bg1 and the bgt..never ending journey, and the large huge mods like check the bodies, maybe I can just go ahead and install Bp "next" without using this fixer mod. can I?!

if it is best for me to use this fixer program, how can i get it to install, without the setup exe?

too too bad I seem not to be able to get along with that big world project, it looks to be a very very good effort.



thanks.....freestone
