Anything I have installed in the past such as sound/ graphics updates, and the BG2 patches have been automaticlly done by the install wizard. All I had to do was click on the icon I had downloaded and then press a "next" button or "enter. I have not done a manual install before and am baffled about what to do.

I have Windows 98 and Soa/ Tob installed with the latest Tob patch. I have no other mods installed but would like Tashia in my group on my second run through the game. I am afraid of making a mistake and would like some clarification.

The instuctions for the Tashia 2.05a installation and my questions are:

1. Download the Mod and unzip it into the Baldurs gate 2 folder. I downloaded the Module into a folder i use for all my downloads for patches, etc. I use winzip to unzip the module but how to I load it in to the Baldurs Gate 2 folder?

You have to specify a path in winzip to the place where the BG2 files are kept - the directory where dialog.tlk is.

2. Make sure you have "Include Folder Names" option turned on in Winzip. I have not found this option anywhere in Winzip, where is it?

When you press extract, there should be a screen where it asks you where you want to extract it. Below, there should be a bunch of boxes which you can leave checked or unchecked. Make sure the 'Folder Names' one is checked - if you don't have this, get the latest version of Winzip (chnces are you just didn't see it - don't reinstall Winzip unless you are sure you have an obsolete version).

3. Then run setup.Tashiaexe. I see the Icon for this but don't want to click it until I am am sure I did 1 and 2 above corectly.

I am in unfamiliar territory here and don't want to mess up the install. If I can't get the install right then how would I ever figure out how to uninstall it and and manually delete files etc . hehe  I'm clueless. Any help appreciated and thanks to whoever did the work of bringing us this new Npc.

Chances are you did it right - the only thing I am not sure of is if you extracted to the right directory. Try installing it - if it doesn't find the files, it will give you an error; it won't install if you did it wrong.

Hi. I am having trouble installing this mod. My machine is running Windows Me.

I made sure several times that the folder names button was selected when extracting the files using winzip.

However, I still get the following error message:

[C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\Setup-Tashia.exe] WeiDU version 42
[C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\Setup-Tashia.exe] registry path

ERROR: Unable to find CHITIN.KEY IN:
.
C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA
.
.
.
ERROR: Failure("Unable to find CHITIN.KEY: run me in your main BGII directory")


I am totaly at a loss because I extracted all the files into my main BGII directory and hit the exe file labeled Setup-Tashia
Could someone please help.

What is your main directory, sir? :)

I had that error once, because my BG2 directory is D:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA :)

Even then, though.... it should still work? ;_;

Oh well, try using the newest WeiDU, sir...? ?:)
