Playing the same WeiDU installation after a Windows reinstall?

16 October 2009 - 12:54 PM

About a year ago, I was playing WeiDU. I had reached chapter 5 in the Baldur's Gate I campaign (which I had never played actually, I started with BGII :) ) but I was still trying to cope with all the joy of having something like WeiDU. Being able to play BGI with the BGII technology is invaluable, since I first tried to play the original BGI as it came, but very soon started looking for a mod that does exactly what WeiDU does :)

At some point I had to reinstall WindowsXP and in order to preserve my WeiDU installation, since I didn't want to have to go through it all over again, I copied it to my ubuntu volume. When I finished reinstalling Windows, drivers, etc. and tried to play WeiDU again, I got an error about the game not being installed or something like that. I figured it's a missing registry entry because the whole Black Isle directory was intact and freshly copied in the same condition in which it worked before the Windows reinstall.

I googled and found the page: http://www.sorcerers...trouble.php#reg where I read that to fix a problem with similar causes as mine, I have to enter some registry key values. I'm going to try that and see if it fixes things, but if anyone is aware of a better or confirmed method to get all the registry data back, please let me know.

If anyone could export and post his working registry data, of course it would be the best :)
