One of the .exe's in the directory is in a read only state, for what ever reasons, and the Weidu would like to update it, but it can't because of the mentioned state. You can delete the setup-bgt.exe and copy for example the setup-ub.exe and rename it as the setup-bgt.exe and then run it, but the fact that the weidu can't update the file would lead me to instruct you to install the game to the your windows profiles Documents folder, because that might be the only directory where you have full control. As the Windows might restrict your access to everywhere else, aka not using the Programs Files folder might not be enough(yes, a double negative).

Is it a problem with my Weidu version?

No. The BWS uses the v23800 and no one has written a complaint about this lately(there were these things before, but those were dealt with), so the likely option is your Windows version.

PS: the Windows 7's Documents are in;
C:\Users\<username>\Searches\Documents\
While the Windows 10's Documents should be in:
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\
So if you have 10, I would suggest installing the game to C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Games\BGII - SoA\ or C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\BGII - SoA\ -folders. Where the <username> is of course your Windows user name, even if it's "-" without the quotes. Yes, I have a very creative username in my laptop...

Did you try the manual delete-copy-rename I instructed above ? When the .exe is not running, aka there's no cmd.exe window.

Oh WOW what sorcery is this? Its working. I thought setup-ub was unfinished business pack setup, I would never have guessed.

Hah. All the setup-modname.exe files are just renamed weidu.exe's that take commands from the same'like named setup-modname.tp2 files, that's why the version upkeep is actually important. There's nothing sorcery about it, it's wizardry(as if there was a difference).
