I got what I wanted for BP, started the installation...

Well, it just got stuck.

I know that some oparts o it take a while to process, but I've been watching very carefully for thirty minutes and it doesn't appear to be processing anything. The cmd window is open, not doing anything and showing the flashing DOS curser which means it's not gonna work. I started the install and then left it alone completely.

I'm doing a BG2-only, TACTICS-level install, but with many fewer mods than the full. I did in fact avoid any dependencies. I previously had a bad install of BP, but have fully cleansed any and all files from the the computer (things would be in totally different sections of the drive now anyhow).


This is the last thing it displays.

[Setup-WeiDU.exe] WeiDU version 21100
Auto-updating on behalf of [Setup-A6XPPATCH.exe]
Copying [Setup-WeiDU.exe] -> [Setup-A6XPPATCH.exe]:

[./CHITIN.KEY] 182 BIFFs, 41793 resources
[.dialog.tlk] 74107 string entries
[WeiDU=Backup] Using scrupting style "BG2"


Any hints? Will I be able to close this and restart without botching the whole install?


Second, I had to remove several mods I had hoped to pop in because BP won't recognize them for some reason. Specifically, BPO just won't recognize Kelsey. BP Setup wil download Kelsey just finer, and unpack, but then the installer doesn't recognize it. I have had this happen in both attempts to setup BP.

I installed a number of mods and tweaks on a clean install of BG2 and ToB. When one Mod required the patch, I had to go get that (forgot). All were weidu mods.

Well, I seem to have some item data. I think the items still work, but I have no way to tell what they are except by the icon. All description and even the item name has been removed. But it's not all items, just a handful of them.

Mods installed:

Shadows over Soubar
Big Picture
Big Picture Map
Ascension
Redemption
Tactics
Improved Anvil (but NOT The Four)
Yoshimo friendship
Mazzy Friendship
Banter Pack
Sarileth NPC
Yikari NPC (I don't want to play a Monk, but I want to have one around)
Gibberlings 3 BG2 Fixpack
Gibberlings 3 BG2 Tweakpack (mostly for multiple strongholds... I didn't put in almost anything else).

Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a fix for it?
