Installation: File too big for WeiDU?

What? Why would the file be too big for WeiDU?
I've installed BGT on this computer before, so I know that can't be it. And I installed Baldur's Gate the same way. I'm using the GOG.com version of Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II, so it has all the expansions and it should have everything installed properly. As far as I know, nothing should have changed from the last time I did this installation.
The game and mod were both completely uninstalled at some point before reinstalling everything this time around. I have not installed any other mods on top of this, unless the Widescreen mod is included in the GOG installation. Which would make sense come to think of it. Not sure what else would cause the video to be almost 5 times the max size for WeiDU, especially since I've installed this version of BG before, and BGT worked fine that time. :/

If it worked before, perhaps there were some left over files from the previous install. Did you delete the game directories entirely before re-installing?

Also, I did try redownloading and re-installing both Baldur's Gate 1 and BGT. Neither particularly helped. I also tried not biffing the files. I'm kind of at a loss. I might go do some searching for WeiDU on its own, so I can check that.

and <same>\Baldurs Gate II\
No apostrophe I checked that first. I'll try moving everything over to C:\Games\Baldurs Gate (II)\ or something.

Try as you might, you might not get all that you want there .. trust me, it's better if you uninstall and then reinstall to the new folders... and then never install any games made before the 2007-2008 to a folder that has the "Program Files" as part of it or your saves won't be safe.I'll try moving everything over to C:\Games\Baldurs Gate (II)\ or something.

Among other things the beta is used to check if the external mods get cheesed by the updates it gets... so my definite advice is not to use the beta as the base weidu.exe as there's no guarantees ... of course you can link it up to the eXpert compilation...Would the beta version of weidu help or does it just increase the number of files that it can handle?

I had to wipe my computer entirely just after posting this (because of weird problems). So now we're going to try this again on a COMPLETELY clean installation. I'll come back with information on what happens.
UPDATE: Worked fine this time. Not sure what changed. Perhaps it has something to do with registry data or something?
For reference, I installed the games to C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG.com\Baldurs Gate\ and GOG.com\Baldurs Gate II\
Not sure why it didn't work before, but it does now. *shrug*
