Forgive me for the stupid question but I downloaded the Big Picture mod and I can't install it?! Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? It just wont unpack where it needs to!
TIA

It just wont unpack where it needs to!

Change the extraction folder to be the game folder... easy.
If you are wondering, the file is a .7z file, which is short for the 7-zip file... you need to have either WinRAR or 7-zip programs to extract the files from the .7z archive...

I tried and it says it has massive errors and won't open?! I am using winrar and the file downloaded to my temp file. If I click on the setup app it says please open in the game file, but it won't let me extract it to the game file. I also tried re-downloading it and the same problem. I got the files from the download in the game file but set-up won't work so they are just sitting there.
Thanks for the reply too!

try using 7zip instead, to extract files; it should be able to deal with more archive formats.
Otherwise, try re-downloading

I tried all that, but still no luck! Can you or someone lead me through step by step? There must be something I am missing! It's now in the game file but when I try to run it it says Error setup-bpv180.tp2 not found. Make sure that you have unpacked the archive correctly and that you are not trying to run this file from inside an archive.[C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BG11-SOA\setup-BPv180.exe] Using scripting style "BG2" ?!?!? Do I need to download each version of BP or will the latest one do the trick? I downloaded BPv180b.

The probable reason why you cannot install the mod is that your computer protects the files the mod tries to modify... see you installed the game to the Program Files folder, and this is one of the biggest reasons for problems, and here's why...
