I tried winging an installation of BWP v10 and made spaghetti of my install. Here's what I did:
- used the BiG_World_Setup.exe version of BWS (http://www.shsforums...ds&showfile=752)
- manually updated the Mod.ini (attached), I did this because
- I wanted to add in Vecna v23 instead of v18
- I found that a lot of the links in this version of BWS were deprecated/broken, so I modified them to use the links from the Mod.ini of the bws_9-20110501.exe version of BWS (http://www.shsforums...ds&showfile=963)
- it turned out the links in the Mod.ini were grabbing BiG World Installpack v10.0.4 and BiG World Fixpack v10.0.1 (the v10 versions) instead of the v9.10 versions, so updated the filesize in the .ini to reflect those
- I wanted to add in Vecna v23 instead of v18
- ran the BiG World Setup.vbs
- selected the Tactics version of BWP
- deselected Umbra (link was messing up for me)
- let BWS download the mods (some I already had) and extract them
- selected the Tactics version of BWP
- BWS then said that it was done and that after I click "Exit" it will launch BiG World Install.bat
- once BiG World Install.bat started I noticed some weird things starting to happen
[list] - it was trying to look for Baldur's Gate in C:\Program Files\Black Isle\Baldur's Gate, which isn't where I installed it. I pointed to the correct location (C:\Stuff\G\Baldur) in BWS, for some reason this didn't get into BiG World Install.bat. I didn't have this problem with BWP v9.10 which I ran with bws_9-20110501.exe
- I stopped BiG World Install.bat
- once BiG World Install.bat started I noticed some weird things starting to happen
- I manually updated BiG World Install.bat to point to the correct path for Baldur's Gate and reran it
- I selected "DA" to keep all mods, "FP" for the Full Plate mod, "AD" for adult mods , for the Wide Screen mod I entered the resolution 1280x960
- I let the BiG World Install.bat run and walked away... several hours later I noticed:

- I press "Enter", and instead of exiting it continues and stops again with this:

- I selected "DA" to keep all mods, "FP" for the Full Plate mod, "AD" for adult mods , for the Wide Screen mod I entered the resolution 1280x960
- I press "Enter" again it continues and does the same thing for CtB and so on, so I eventually just pressed Ctrl-C and stopped the installation
Did I use the wrong version of BWS?
Are we even supposed to use BWS to install BWP v10? Or are we supposed to just directly run the BiG World Install.bat without using BWS?
I'd really appreciate any guidance on this, or if anyone could give a step-by-step proceedure on how to install BWP v10 it'd be great.
Thanks!
