Well, no. You have the Widescreen mod in the game directory, and you shouldn't have it, as it causes than... this.
So the quickest way is to fix this, is to push the X, go to the game directory and remove any setup-*modname*.exe that's is exactly about 3,909KB large, and recopy the WeiDU.exe from the BiG_World_Installpack_v7 directory many times if necessary, and rename them as the setup-*modname*.exe's removed.

And then restart the BiG World Install.bat...

Hmm looks like i can't choose which to install, I was mistaken cause I'm a total noob at these stuff anyway it's been stack here for 1 hour now... any help? is this normal or..?

I can't say for sure, but I do think that that's actually the mod creating the .bif file, and I hear it can take hours, so it should be normal that it looks like it's stopped, but it's not.

Well, to add kits you should uninstall generalized biffing first, install kits and then install biffing again. I'm not sure but if you uninstall it it may ruin your entire installation... I repeat, I'm not sure if is that mod or widescreen mod (or maybe any of them) that can cause problems if uninstalled.

I made the same mistake because I didn't know that BWP rightly skipped some components (kits among them).

Oh, well that ruins the entire thing then , so there is no way to add the kits you want except doing a full manual installation? Or maybe just removing the generalized biffing from the folder before starting the installation :S, I feel really stupid now for not thinking of that before . So fresh install?

Well, if you wish to get some what more stable install, the fresh is always better... and yes, if you remove the setup-*(xyz)*.exe of the Generalized Biffing from the game directory, it won't be installed.
But if you are willing to risk it, you can uninstall it and then install the other mods and then reinstall the Biffing...

Yes, *(xyz)* cause I forgot it's name.

Btw, is there a list anywhere with all kits available from all the mods so i can decide which to install and which not?

Well, the BiG World .pdf has the kits that are in the mods... and this has the rest...

The best is you do a fresh clean install and start a new installation, because something wrong happened. So you can plan your kits with your new installation.

At the beginning of your installation the BiG World Fixpack is not used:

~BG2FIXPACK/SETUP-BG2FIXPACK.TP2~ #0 #113 // Additional Alignment Fixes: v8
~BG2FIXPACK/SETUP-BG2FIXPACK.TP2~ #0 #114 // Change Free Action to Protect Against Stun: v8
~SETUP-BDTOBV166.TP2~ #0 #3 // IMPROVED COPPER CORONET
~SETUP-BDTOBV166.TP2~ #0 #4 // RESTORED DAK'KON'S BLADE
~SETUP-BDTOBV166.TP2~ #0 #5 // Improved Nymph (Woodland Being) Script by Goeran Rimen
~SETUP-BDTOBV166.TP2~ #0 #7 // Baldurdash Fix Pack for ToB, v1.66 WeiDU

but later it is:

~SETUP-D0QUESTPACK.TP2~ #0 #4 // Miscellaneous Enhancements: BWP Fix 6.0.6
~SETUP-D0QUESTPACK.TP2~ #0 #5 // Additional Shadow Thieves Content: BWP Fix 6.0.6
~SETUP-D0QUESTPACK.TP2~ #0 #6 // Alternative Harper/Xzar Plot: BWP Fix 6.0.6

Looks like you started the Install.bat more than once. The first time something was not correct and after that all was fine.

After 4 hours of trying to manually do it from scratch (and miserably failed ) I decided to do the automated standard install again, though this time I chose not to install all the mods after the kit-remover mod (these are widescreen, generalized biffing and some gui mods, i unticked them from the big world setup configuration) so I can install the kits I want and install them later.

I did a fresh install first and then started the standard install.

It got stuck at the same place as the photo of my first post.... this time there was no widescreen mod though, and all the setup files are 508kb. Any suggestions? ^^

Hi,

Excuse me, but, though I have read your thread, I have not look at your screenshot until now.
In fact I did encounter the same problem, but at this moment, I saw that the program used 0% of my CPU, so I did a [Ctrl-C] and the I got a message "want you stop the program", I said "no" and the program did continue normally through the end (Note : the messages are translated from my memory...).
Now, I remember that I did not report this problem since I though it was the one explained earlier (widescreen)

[Fouinto]

Well it got stuck again , but I tried your trick and it continued thnx a lot dude

Great ! but we still don't know why we got stuck at this point...

It is a similar problem like it is with the Widescreen.exe. There are other ones which could cause the stucks. So you must change the Setup-exe with the current WeiDU.exe, too.

In Jarno's FAQ you can read more about it under point 1:
