Ah, thank you very much! I had done a couple google searches and I figured that would encompass the forum, and it was a weird enough issue it was possibly just me. Anyway, I just replaced the oggdec.exe and I'm running the install again.

Uhm, isn't the problem the "mac + wine running CMD-stuff"?

You could try to replace those entries with the translation from the files and see if the errors still come up.
Replace just the first to see if it has an effect.

And isn't Baldur's Gate ported to Mac and able to run natively?

I'll see if I can write a script to do that. There are hundreds of references so doing it manually isn't really an option.

Also Baldur's Gate was ported to Mac about 12 or 13 years ago. Baldur's Gate 2 for Mac is slightly newer than that. In those days, Macs had PowerPC processors, a completely different architecture than modern Macs with x86 processors. Also Baldur's Gate was ported to a completely different generation of Mac OS that can't be run on a Mac newer than 2005. In short, the games were ported but they are no longer able to run natively. Actually since I do have an x86 processor, I technically am running the PC versions natively. All wine is doing is emulating the Windows software layer under the programs. It's fully capable of properly running DOS/CMD scripts.

Right. I meant to post the BATs but forgot... Here's what the setup tool spit out, unmodified: pastebin link
This is the file after I replaced the '@' character with just 'x' in the paths and the filenames: pastebin link

I did try putting quotes in the paths in the script, but that didn't seem to help. I'm quite familiar with bash scripting, but I have to say looking at these BATs has reminded me why I avoid DOS like the plague.
