There are no BiG World Text/Smooth/Fixpacks involved in the BGEE-installs. So there's nothing that tries to patch the mods files.

You likely do have bgeegraphics13.part1.rar and bgeegraphics13.part2.rar but not bgeegraphics13.part3.rar in your download-folder.
Get http://www.shsforums...phics-overhaul/ and put it in that folder. Ignore the error when extracting bgeegraphics13.part2.rar.
And next time, maybe load the master-file and not the download since that error should have been fixed in the master-branch download.

It deletes the files from the BWP Textpack.
So the Textpack will not patch WAs version at all.

Well, the BWS detected errors and asks if you want to try to extract those mods without error on your own.
Installing mods which content is not ok may not be a very good idea, so the BWS wants to remove those from the installation.
You decline, the BWS wants to switch into the BG2-path and fails miserably. Maybe you use some odd codepage?
The backslash is totally busted. cd /D "C:õBWGõBaldur's Gate 2" should be cd /D "C:\BWG\Baldur's Gate 2"

Use an editor like notespad to open C:\Games\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\BiG World Setup\Includes\07_Extract.au3.
Search for For $n = $DirList[0] To 1 Step -1 and replace it with For $n = $DirList[0] To 3 Step -1.
I thought that was already replaced some time ago...
Edit: Error and fix was reported here.
You did not update the 7z yourself?

Maybe I should say I had a similar problem with scaling in general and I solved it by playing by going to the Tools > Picture Format-menu and playing with the settings there.

I thought I wrote that question into the BWS-thread but got that mixed up.
And I didn't try to pick on you or read the thing because I don't know what would be in there by default currently and I just read a few things so I came up with the question.
Well, I read BP + Spellpack are buggy and likely cause issues with spiderwebs -- likely.
I also read the BP + statagems may cause a few enemies to stand around doing nothing.
People may had different experiences, but I guess that shrinking ones selection might help prevent errors (just because of maths / possibility) and a working "smaller" environment may be better to start from than a bigger that has a few issues.

I don't know if it's worth discussing or if it'll end with running in circles, but how about renaming / removing stuff from the bigger sections like standard/tactic?
The selection above has a whopping 1050 lines/components... For me, that would be too much.
Is there any consensus what would be a good, better, very good mod? I mean, I often see someone picking standard and the first thing another one says is: Oh my god, that's standard? No way...
I don't know if you need expert/the buggy selection of if you could just throw in something else. You could still select the buggy stuff by going through the stuff yourself if you want to.
Or do you think we should remove those categories and stick with groups that are in the BWS-menu like Adult/Fun/Unsuited and expand those?
Or expand the tree with the BG1 NPC, BG2 quests and other branches with new ones that go more into detail? Like slitting tweaks into something to alter micromanagement, money, npc management, magic, ...
Just asking around for a bit of input from the community, I don't have any clue about quality/content but that topic somehow bothers me.
Any volunteers that want to contribute if you'd like to have something changed to help out Alien and Quiet? I don't want to raise the workload for those guys.

Alien updated the files for the master.zip and Turin likely loaded the download from the beginning of this year.
Anyway, just force the BWS to use scs30 as "Additional mod file". Then the BWS will extract scs30 twice => no harm whatsoever.
Or you'll have to edit the BiG World Setup\Config\BWP\Mod.ini.
Just remove the entries with an "add" at the beginning underneath the [stratagems]-section. Save, Restart the BiG World Setup.vbs and resume the install.

Well, if you get the install-log from BiG World Setup\Logs-folder, we could check that.
I remember 2 quirks the last time I checked a config-tool for Alien. So reinstalls might happen in certain conditions. Not saying its still in there, so the compressed log would be fine

Ok. Another try.

Copy/paste the bold line into the second line so your first three lines looks like this:
Save and try the "right-click as Admin"-action again.

no rightclick on batch.
Search cmd, do a rightclick on the found cmd.exe and run that one as admin.
Do a cd /D "BG2-path where things are in"
Then start the batch by typing in "BiG World Install.bat"
Or edit the BiG World Install.bat and insert a line with the cd /D "BG2-path where things are in" at the top.

Well if you still got the errors, I'd restore the backup and and let the BiG World Installpack do the installation.
I don't have Windows 8.1 to reproduce this and I don't know if your PC is blocking something or was configured that way (e.g. the PC not able to run vbs-files).
All I can tell you is that BWS uses the cmd-entries to install fix/smooth/textpacks and so on, which wouldn't get applied if these fail, and that would be a load of unnecessary (and already fixed) faults. So either redo the install as it was and stop before the real install starts and start the BiG World Installpack yourself (start the cmd as admin and navigate into the games directory) or go back, switch to the installpack-option and let that go through.

Try it the right-click -> "Run as Admin" way. I was told that you have to run AutoIt3 as admin if you want to use it using Windows 8.
Since the vbs would always start the Autoit3 as admin, you have to do it yourself.

I guess that using --list-languages and --list-components are better suited for normal users than searching for "BEGIN"-tokens in tp2-files.
And you might have problems using this mod in batches without renaming since it uses this stupid exclamation mark in it's name.
In batch, it's also used for other things, so you might just want to install it manually.

691/68/TS preferred to NEJ2/TS-BP.
You have to choode between new nej 68/691, new ts or old nej2/ts-bp, which can be installed together. So the preferred "splits" the conflicting parts. So you could also try 691 and ts. There may be other conflicts, and you'll see those graphically/with colors, which may make things clearer.
And this has nothing to do with the BP AI / tactics / encounter mod.

So it is bad that you had that error.
Can you look if the file exists?
Can you check if you can create files in the BG2-folder?

Uhm, you do execute a cmd and go to the BG2-folder and start the BiG World Installpack from there, right?
If not, that's the error.
You cannot right-click the batch and select run as admin since you'll start a cmd which is located in C:\Windows\system32.
Therefore, the current path (folder from where the BiG World Install.bat is executed from ist C:\Windows\system32.
When you click the batch as a user, the current path is where the BiG World Install.bat is in, which is your bg2-path.
So when running a user, the batch will not find the BiG World Installpack-folder and behave oddly.
At least I get a few "cannot find file"-warnings before a pause an no text is displayed when I do that.
When I run it as described at the top of this post, everything is ok.
So I'd advice to rewrite the hint about "click as admin" or take a vbs to do so.
Edit:
You can simply test where you are by adding this at the top: echo %cd% or pwd.
If not, that's the error.
