It worked!!!!!!!!!!!!   :thumb: Thanks so much for the help all of you! Especially you Warlock!

It creates one single folder called bgt3. Inside that folder is an internet file called bgt_mk3_readme, a MS Dos file called readme, a MS dos file called bgt_setup, a folder called biffme, a folder called root, and a folder called temp.

EDIT:
Warlock I tried your way and it is the same problem.

After running the bgt_mk3_112, the bgt3 folder has changed: biffme, root, and temp are gone, replaced by the files Weidu, dialog.tlk, xpPatcher, xpPatcher_readme, and the folders mpsave, music, and ovderride.

Ok here is exactly what i have tried. I am ONLY trying to install BGT. As I said before my hard drive is too small for a lot of other things.

FYI I am running Windows XP.

1) Install BG1, custom install to filepath C:\Baldur - I use the default disc cache size, check every single box, and install the game. The installation wizard tells me I don't have enough disc drive space, but I ignore that because I know that I do (I have 20 gigs of free space)

2) Install TOSC, again custom install - check every single box and install the game. I am asked during this installation if I want to overwrite two files (dll files I think) I click yes. I do not install Roger Wilco or Direct X 6.1

3) Install the BGTOSC patch (as it is the 5 cd set)

4) Configure and Run the game once. Create a character and save the game before quitting.

5) Install BG2 to the default filepath (also on drive C:). Use a full install.

6) Install BG2TOB to drive C:. Also use a full install.

7) Install the BG2TOB patch

Configure the game and run it once. Create a character and save the game before quitting.

9) Just started trying this step, but it doesn't seem to matter one way or the other. Open my BGII \ baldur.ini file. Under [GAME OPTIONS]: Enter the following lines:
Debug Mode=1
Cheats=1
Force Dialog Pause=1

10) Extract the zipped files from BGT_mk3_112 to my BG2TOB folder

11) Edit the .bat file like so (again a recent step I have begun)
FOR /F "delims=" %%v IN (TEMP$$$$.$$$) DO SET BG1PATH=%%v
And Change it to: SET BG1PATH=C:\baldur

12) Run the BGT_mk_112 setup. At the pompt type C:/Baldur hit control-z and enter, watch the files scroll. I get Unix errors during step 3 like the other guy

13) At the end, up pops the readme file and the XPPatcher program (so it must be an automated install I don't know how to do a manual install) I change the starting xp in BGMain to 100

14) I copy the override folder from lost_files to my BG2TOB folder and click yes to do you want to overwrite these files. I do the same thing with the override folder from patch_snares, and the patch114 override and dialog.tlk files, with each of these I do a copy and paste, clickng yes to "Do you want to overwrite the following files?"

15) I run BG2TOB, click on Shadows of Amn, click on Single Player, click on Baldur's Gate (in the spot where Tutorial used to be) up pops a window that says I am about to go "in through the back door and play the Baldur's Gate mod, etc." I create a character and voila show up in the Duchal Palace, beginning the BG2 tutorial. i complete the tutorial and find myself stuck in Irenicus' cage, with no introduction (Irenicus doesn't test on me and Imoen never shows up). There are no games to load.

16) A friend told me to try to copy my override folder from the bgt3 folder and paste it into my BG2TOB folder when I do this, everything is the same except when I finish creating my character i wind up outside the inn in Candlekeep (from BG1) for about 1 second before the game crashes.

I have tried the above steps (without steps 9 and 11) about 8 times now, I have tried with steps 9 and 11, three times. I have the exact same results every time regardless.

Ok, I hope I am being clear now. Any more help would be appreciated.

Ok trying that. also, what did you mean on the other thread when you said

Now you can go through the install process. By the way, are you using the automated process or manual? Did you remember to make a directory called TS-Install? This is needed. Another trick is to run one Weidu mod (any of them) and tell it to quit. This will update all the other Setup-****.EXE files in the SOA directory. Otherwise, your install gets hosed later on.

Could you explain the above? I am not too technically proficient and dont know anything about Weidu. Thank you for your help again.

Hi, thank you all so much for your replies. I followed your instructions word for word and still start up in the tutorial. I don't see any games to load either.

Any more suggestions would be appreciated.

EDIT: I've done some searching on the forum, and I seem to be having the exacty same problem as the fellow in this thread.

unfortunately he never seemed to resolve his problem, but maybe it will give all you geniuses a starting off point.
