Hi there,

I have BG from the "D&D Anthology", which includes BGI+II+all expansions and the latest patches. The complete installation is at the HD and my system runs with XP.

Sadly, BGT won't install. So i'm looking here for help. ; )

If i any information is missing, let me know.

Best,
Martinedit: It's the german version, if that is a matter

C:\Spiele\Icewind Dale\Baldur's Gate II\setup-bgt.exe

Is there some specific reason why the game is installed on that folder ? As in, why not simply to: C:\Spiele\Baldur's Gate II\ ??
And say that the Icewind Dale game isn't installed on the C:\Spiele\Icewind Dale\ -folder...

The first error is found in this:

Yes please do this.
Looks to me there is a bunch of TB#*.BIF files in the data directory, suggesting to me this isn't a standard Baldur's Gate I installation.

Ok, I did that. Besides, the anthology has a complete new installation program, i can't choose the size of the installation for example. So it should be the complete installation but i'm not 100% sure.

Is there some specific reason why the game is installed on that folder ? As in, why not simply to: C:\Spiele\Baldur's Gate II\ ??
And say that the Icewind Dale game isn't installed on the C:\Spiele\Icewind Dale\ -folder...

Happened by accident. I thought, I name the game folder, instead I named the anthology folder. Icewind Dale can be found in Icewind Dale\Icewind Dale ; )

Can you try moving all the TB#*.BIF files out of your data directory temporarily, and re-installing BGT? These look supernumerary.

Did you mean by re-installing running the setup-bgt.exe? That didn't work either. I'm starting to fear that my version of BG wont work with BGT, but thanks for the effort nontheless. : )

This little guide for installing the D&D Anthology mentions that you might need to rename your Baldur's Gate folder to Baldurs Gate. Could you try that?

[Ascension64]

You didn't move all the TB#*.BIF files out of your BG1 data directory.
e.g. c:\\Spiele\\Icewind Dale\\Baldur's Gate/DATA/TB#221.BIF

Move all such files out of your BG1 data directory that start with TB#.
After that, re-run setup-bgt.exe. The apostrophe shouldn't have any effect.

That is strange. I moved all TB#*.bif files out of the folder - the last file was spells.bif - so I dont know, why the debug told you something different.However, here's the debug again. I just moved the tb-files back in the data folder and again out of it. *shrug* don't know, if this changed somethingedit:

I tried that, but it didn't work either.Ok, i suppose i made a mistake. I have overwritten the dialog.tlk and the dialogF.tlk in the BG2 directory... The installation took now considerably more time but still failed.

I uninstalled BGi+II, reinstalled it and now it seems to work.

No error so far, but it is still installing... update: its ready and it works : )

I guess, i messed things up when i tried to install mods before i installed BGT, those TB#*.bif files were at least not in the data folder present. *shrug*

Sorry for inconvenience and thanks for your help.

[Ascension64]

No worries, glad you sorted it out.

Delete your cache directory. Also, move all the TB#*.BIF files out of your data directory, and then try again.

BIFF may be in hard-drive CD-path [D:\Program Files\Bioware\Baldur's Gate/cache/DATA/TB#420.BIF]

Done, but now i can't start install BGT

What does the baldur.ini -file say under the [Alias] -header, 7 lines under it ?... open the file with Notepad. And when you go to the D:\Program Files\Bioware\Baldur's Gate -directory, what version is the bgmain.exe -file ?(right click -> properties -> details)

[Ascension64]

Does anyone know why these installation have TB# files? Is that due to some previous BIFFer utility?
Also, @Lisek, can you run through the .bif files listed at http://www.shsforums...post__p__230254 and see what is missing?
