I need to install all files to make the BGT work and when i try to do it the installer tells me that i have only 2,06 GB of free space when i need 2,6GB. It would be nothing except that i have about 11GB of free space on one disc and about 4GB on the other one, neither of them works.
I also tried to install from two copies of BG1 both orginal ones.
The game`s end installing at about 75% and there aren`t all files needed for the BGT
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

You need choose manual install and select all the items to install in stead of choosing a full install.
Even then the game will complain that you have not enough free space on the harddisk but with a manual install you can ignore that message.
Worked every time for me.
Denial does not improve your already slim chances..

I`ve done as you said but as i wrote before the instalation then ends at about 75%.
And when i tried to instal BGT it had some files missing.
I have a 5 CD wersion which doesn`t have full install only the custom one.

Is one of your CDs damaged?

I`ve just tried to install only one of the cd`s the first one(i`ve choosed only things from the first cd in manual install)and it also end`s at about 90% and the folder has 570MB and when you choose what to install it says that it should have 720MB.

i`ve tried installing from two copies of Baldur`s Gate - one of them was demaged but the second one isn`t.

What may cause the install to end before it should?

Are you installing the game from 2 CD drives? I know the install 'fails' (it keeps going but keeps asking for CDs) if you change the drive letter for the next CD to a different one.

Also, you could try asking on the BioWare forums since this is more to do with the base BG1 install.
