I installed Baldur's Gate EasyTutu and I tried to install BGT but it keeps saying the game path is incorrect or I need a full installation of the game.... I am pointing the instalation to Baldur's Gate EasyTutu but I keep getting the same error..... What to do? what to do????....ewwww... Do I even need the EasyTutu if I want BGT? I uninstalled original Baldur's Gate TOSC but I left BG:TOB alone.

BGT is looking for BG1 not TuTu, so reinstalled original Baldur's Gate TOSC.

No, the BGT-WeiDU uses the BGII - ToB game folder to be installed, you then give it your BG:TotSC games directory info when the installer asks for that, for example mine is:

C:\BWP\Baldur's Gate

From where the installer copies the data from to the BG2 directory, and then leaves the BG1 dir alone, as it then modifies the copied data so it can be used in the BG2 game.
Now, the EasyTutu does the same thing, kinda but expanded install actually makes a completely new game folder, to where it moves the essencial BG2's data, and then the essential BG1 data so it can create a game that has the BG1 in the BG2 engine(rule system, kits etc, with BG1 plot).

Now, you cannot combine those two... so the BGT doesn't need the EasyTutu... and ignore Chevaliers post, he didn't understand that you though you would need the EasyTutu to the BGT.

Thanks Jarno Mikkola! I think I have it straight.

The Easytutu and BGT end up being 2 separate BG series instalations on the computer correct?

Also, please answer this for me....I have BG2 SOA and BGT installed in D:\Games (x86)\Black Isle\Baldur's Gate SOA.... I want to use the Big World utility....Should I reinstall BG2 SOA into a new directory something like D:\Games (x86)\BWP\Black Isle\BG2 SOA????

Well, the EasyTutu is just the BG1 games content on the BG2's engine, while the BGT(-WeiDU v1.11) is the whole Baldur's Gate + BGTotSC + BGII - SoA&ToB.

Also, please answer this for me....I have BG2 SOA and BGT installed in D:\Games (x86)\Black Isle\Baldur's Gate SOA.... I want to use the Big World utility....Should I reinstall BG2 SOA into a new directory something like D:\Games (x86)\BWP\Black Isle\BG2 SOA????

Well, the game folder needs to be named "BGII - SoA" because a few mods might need that... but if I were you, I would install it in "D:\BWP\BGII - SoA", this is because you don't loose things when you don't have too many folders.
This of course means that you need to uninstall the BGT'ed BGII game, cause you cannot have two installed BGII - ToB games, yes the Windows registry prevents that... you can by pass that by deleting the registry entry, but usually the reinstall + copy is better option. This is all in my FAQ too, in 3.5, and 8.

My system is Windows 7 64 bit.....Should the BG2 - SOA game path look like this D:\BWP (x86)\BG2 - SOA or
D:\BWP\BG2 - SOA ? Or neither? Shoud I get rid of the (x86)?


Also does it matter where BG1 is installed and do I need to reinstall BG1 and TOTSC?

1) My system is Windows 7 64 bit.....Should the BG2 - SOA game path look like this D:\BWP (x86)\BG2 - SOA or D:\BWP\BG2 - SOA ? Or neither? Shoud I get rid of the (x86)?

2) Also does it matter where BG1 is installed and do I need to reinstall BG1 and TOTSC?

1) I woundn't personatly ever use such a ridicilus thing as (x86) as a part of the folder, so no, you don't need it, so get rid of it while still you can...
2) If you already have installed and still working but unmodified* BG1+TotSC game, then no, you don't need to reinstall it.
*)The unmodified BG1 game means that you can use it to install the EasyTutu and BGT, but you cannot have used the BG1 mods to that BG1 game. So the data needs to be clean, as in just the vanilla full installs of BG1 and BGTotSC, patched to (v1.3)5512, started a new game.

The reason the Windows 7 has the " (x86)" addition to the Priogram Files -folders name, and thus creating a new folder is because the original Program Files -folder is protected by the virtual imagining or whatever, and the older games cannot have that, as they have not been certified to the new Window 7... as they cannot be, cause they were made before it came to be... so the new and old systems can co-exist.

Now, if you install the games to the "Games" -folder, or your own custom named folder, you don't have this problem.

Whew I reinstalled BGII last night and man was that a real pain in the behind..... I forgot how bugged the uninstall process was for BG2 TOB..... I had to do a manuel uninstall using regedit and also delete some entries from the install shield folder so the game would realize it had been uninstalled ..... What a pain in the arse..... Thanks for your help once again Jarno....

The only thing you should need to do is uninstall the game using the Control Panel -> Programs -> Uninstall a program, then select the BGII - SoA, and few clicks later the game is uninstalled, you then need to delete the game folder if you wish to reuse it, or the space the mod files use, but the uninstall is done already in the above... unless you already deleted something you shouldn't have, and ten you just have to follow this.
