i just finished setting up my baldur's gate game using BWS.  all my mods installed correctly, but i'm having an irritating problem i've never experienced before.  every time i start the game it acts like its the first time and makes me reset the configuration file.  this isn't a big problem, but like i said its irritating.  if anyone has any ideas about whats causing this, or how i can fix it, i'd appreciate the help

 

not sure if its a mod causing this, but i exported my mod list from BWS:  BWS-Selection.txt   20.4K   164 downloads

 

thanks

Open the baldur.ini file and save it so that it has this line in so:

Installing=0

You might also need to move the game to a folder you have a (over)write privileges...

ok, i'll add the line to the baldur.ini.  i should have write privileges, but i'll double check

ok, i tried both suggestions and still having the same problem.  the "Installing=0" line was already there, the file was on read only, changed it, and changed ownership of entire install directory to make sure i had write/overwrite privileges.

Did that work ?
Cause from what I have read, it won't do in Windows 10, cause not even the adminsterator gets a special treatment, and so needs to edit only his own folder files, aka the game needs to be installed to the user accounts folders... Like for example here:
C:\Users\TheImp\Games\BGII - SoA\

i'm running windows 7, but it should work for windows 10 as well, this makes it easier to do: http://www.howtogeek...-menu-in-vista/

it gives full ownership of a file, or entire folder to the current user

OK... that's a neat little trick.
