Help with BWS setup

11 June 2015 - 10:45 AM

This is my first post, :clap:  , but I've been a fan of this site for years.  I'm an experienced BG player, and using mods, but I am not a scripter or programmer.  Long story short, I have all the mods that I want to use, I have the latest BWS files located in my BG2 install location  (no it's not UAC protected), but I can not get the BWS to run successfully.

 

I usually like to go with the "tactics" version of installation, but I go in and manually choose which mods I want/don't want, however it never seems to keep my selections, because as soon as I start the installation, it's downloading all the mods I've already got in the downloads section.  It always says I'm missing mods, even though I confirm everytime the mods are there.

 

I will provide details as needed, but I am looking for just some basic steps to make sure at the beginning of the installation, and what I'm trying to do is feasible.

 

Steps I've done:

1.  Complete install with full options of BG1/BG2, all patched... with main/dialog.tlk/chitin key and others copied to another location for the "rollback" scenario

2.  All mods that I want in my game located in the "BIG world downloads" section  (however the program never seems to see the rar's in there...

 

If anyone could help with a  1,2,3 step procedures at first, then I'm hoping I can fix this myself.
