Struggling to get BG complete installed on my Windows 7 64-bit machine but WiuEI installation fails.

 

I've attached the (1.1Mb) debug file but the fatal line seems to be:

 

ERROR: Unix.Unix_error(20, "stat", "g:\\baldurs gate\\BG 1/characters/cleric.chr")

 

But my BG 1 installation folder doesn't have a /characters folder at all.

 

The /Data folder is there and seems to have everything it should have.

 

Should there be a /characters folder?  Can I import it from anywhere on the disks?

 

Any advice appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Yeah, there should be a characters folder, which BG1 installation do you have? If not, you can recreate all the files in the characters folder with empty files to allow installation to succeed. There are:

 

cleric.chr

fighter.chr

mage.chr

multi.chr

thief.chr

Yep, erhm, did you fully install the BG:TotSC ? The other side of this question is, -What version do you have of the BG1 game, aka where did you buy it from, country, is it a specific product etc ??? As much info as you can give will help here.
As the characters should be there ...

Hi guys.

 

Thanks for the input.

 

Given that I don't need for Baldur's Gate anything like the grunt my desktop has available I tried an installation my laptop with an external monitor which automatically picked up the need for compatability and seems to have installed BG 1 + ToSC OK, tho' I've a way to go yet to complete the whole installation.

 

I wonder if the difference might be between Windows 7-64 Professional (no native compatability function) and Windows 7-32 Enterprise which does have compatability natively and adopted XP(SP2) without being asked.

 

Will let you know how it goes.

I would actually be wondering if the Microsoft can actually make any compatibility correctly at all, as the native programming is off by a mile and then some...
