How are you trying to install the mod?
If WeiDU say something about --tlk-out, you most likely haven't used the Setup-xxx.exe file.

That was it. Thanks!

Yet another question... . Can WeiDU edit a text file in the BG 2 directory folder? What I would like to do is add the movie entries to baldur (the config settings) so that one could watch them from the 'movies' screen in game without having come across them while playing.

Yes, you can COPY it like any other file, and I suppose you want REPLACE_TEXTUALLY too.

COPY ~baldur.ini~ ~baldur.ini~
  REPLACE_TEXTUALLY EXACT_MATCH ~[MOVIES]~ ~[MOVIES]
NEWENTRY=1
[...]~

You could probably try to be more intelligent with checking whether the entries you're adding already exist, but there may not be much point depending on what you're doing. If you want to match newlines or other potential whitespace, use something like this first:

OUTER_INNER_PATCH 1234 BEGIN
  WRITE_LONG 0x0 0x090a0d20
  READ_ASCII ws(4)
END

Then you can use %ws% to match any sort of whitespace (tabs, returns, spaces) in the first search string.

If you're doing something like this, you might also be interested in the "controversial" Disable Startup Movies component which is going in the new MixMod with the rest of the tweaks (and already exists there in a previous version).

However, when you put tons of stuff in a bag whose Storage capacity is '0', things seem to mysteriously disappear.

Here's another reason to implement this tweak.
