Can anyone help, please?

I can not even start it: when I run MegaMoshi file it says Warning: please run this program in SoA installation directory. This is what I do, it is placed: c:\Program Files\BioWare\Baldur's Gate II\
Any idea what is going on? How to work it out? I don't want to install manually

Anybody????

I am not familiar with the SMM installation, but I can give you some pointers.

Is it just a warning, or is it an actually error? Can you ignore the warning?
What else does the warning say?
Does changing the directory name make any difference (e.g. Baldur's Gate II to something shorter and without symbols or spaces)?
Is your Baldur's Gate II a clean installation of BG2 and patched to v26498?
Have you tried a very simple version of the SMM auto-install just to see if it works for you?
Are you using an appropriate version of your browser to get all the files from the site?
Do you have all the relevant files downloaded for the installation?
Do you have enough disk space for the installation?
Are you running the program directly from that directory, or via a indirect mechanism (batch, or through a browser, etc.)?

Can you post a screenshot of your entire SoA directory?

[Ascension64]

You seem to have a BG2Main.exe and a BGMain (no extension?).
I think one of those should be BGMain.exe. Try renaming BG2Main.exe to BGMain.exe and try to install SMM again.

[Ascension64]

Hmm, from what I've tested, the installation is detected corretly with the following files only: baldur.ini, baldur.exe, BGConfig.exe, BGMain.exe, chitin.key, dialog.tlk. There might be some files that the installer doesn't like. Try and move BGMain2.exe out of the directory and see if that works. If not, try moving other files (except for the mentioned ones; don't move dialogF.tlk though) and see what happens.

Advice for the quest...

To show then, you need to go to the Control Panel, Folder Options, and uncheck the Hide extensions for all known file types . My guess is that the BGMain is the BGMain.exe already... and the BG2Main is some .txt or .ini file...

But the main problem can be, that he is using the Windows Vista(I see this from the file directory), and the User Account Control isn't turned off, which is necessary to mod the game.

[Ascension64]

My belief was that BGMain wasn't an .exe because because the icon was different from other known .exes, like the dxtest and the gltest files, but that might not hold true.

[Ascension64]

As I said, it looks for those six files. I just downloaded the MegaMoshi installer and made 6 empty files with those names on a public uni computer and it gets past your roadblock (although it reported invalid configuration, which is obvious).
The installer may rely on an a current version of .NET, have you tried updating your .NET framework?

And as many of the error solutions in the net say that: You need Microsoft .NET 2.0 Frameworks installed or 3.5(for Vista) works just as well. So you better check out that you have that installed. And re-installation of the .NET might also help.

By the way, what operation system do you use? If it's the Vista and you have installed the game to the c:\Program Files\BioWare\Baldur's Gate II\ you need to reinstall the game to other folder than the Program Files, as the Vista has the nice feature that makes the files edited there to become images, so no real changes are actually made, as there is the read-only command on the directories and subdirs, that can't be overwritten easily.
So, reinstall the game to C:\Games\BGII - SoA , patch it and then proceed to check that you have the Microsoft .NET Frameworks 3.x installed on the Control Panel->Programs and Features.

Well, it has all the major quest mods ever made for BGI(+BGT+BGTutu) except the BGMiniQuests... and Stone of Askavar(that's Tutu only). It doesn't have many the NPC mods... The versions are bit older than the once in the Big World Project, but it's more stable.
