Did you start the game before you started the BWS's .vbs ?
Also do you have the Microsoft Visual C++ ... things installed ? Cause the the ToBEx needs those... if I remempes.
And what do you use to run the game ? It needs to be the "BGMain.exe" ...

Yep, Jarno Mikkola. my Mega Mod FAQ. Use of the BWS, and how to use it(scroll down that post a bit). 
OK, desert dweller, welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand. Ouh, actually it was still snow then.. but anyways.

So the game worked before you added mods (and TobEx, which is unlike other mods because it actually modifies BGMain) and now it doesn't.

 

I would try setting all of the Debug lines in BG2\TobEx_ini\TobExCore.ini to 1.  (Make a backup of the file first.)  Then run BGMain.exe again.  It should write some information to BG2\TobEx.log.  Check what it says there for clues about what might be causing the problem.

 

(For what it's worth, I did a BGT Recommended install this week and the game starts fine, so the problem is not with current version of BWS.  It's something specific to your setup.)
