no, the install guides are most definitely correct. that said, BP-BGT (or, let's face it, *anything* with BGT) is a voodoo install: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... i'm pleased that mwiforum got their install working, even if it involved disregardng the installation instructions - whatever works, at the end of the day.... but i'm not going to start recommending that people start disregarding the install guides, because a: they work; and b: there is no b.

Sorry, I did not mean to critisize the install guides or recommend to disregard them.
Maybe one of the installs failed for another mistake I made during the installation that I did not notice.

i'd speculate that perhaps in the BGII install part of mwiforum's install process, s/he installed the baldurdash fixes then (easily done - i've done it - but a mistake) and hence when SoS and TDD came round to installing what was already there, things went haywire.

I don't think I installed baldurdash fixes. I did a fresh install of BGII, ToB and the latest patch. I then configured it and started a game using this installation. After that I backed up my BGII folder using WinRAR. For each reinstall of BP/BGT I restored from the RAR and started from there.

Just to make it clear BG1 can be installed on D:\Baldur along with everything else.

I can confirm that. I did not have enough space on c:\ so installed everything
on D:\ and I finally seem to have done it right. (5th or 6th try, don't remember)

After one failed install I had exactly the same problem as the original poster describes.
I reinstalled once again and did not have any problems so far. (Only played until I reached High Hedge and Beregost)

There were only minor differences between those installs as far as I remember:

Failed install:
- selected 'baldurdash fixes' when installing SoS and TDD
- did not install the NeJ Moonknight

Working install (so far):
- installed the NeJ Moonknight
- left SoS and TDD installs as is (did not select baldurdash fixes)

Yes that file is for NEJ in BG II

OK, thanks!

Thie is not a warning.
NEJ_PATCH313.exe BUT DONT INSTALL IT, just run it then select [N] for install.
NEJ_PATCH313.exe puts files in your BG II dir.
For the auto installer to use

PS dont forget to del the log file.

@Warlock

OK, point taken.
Does that mean you recommend that I should install again?

I am not very much into the game yet but so far this install worked
witout any problems and certainly a lot better than my previous installs.

I have had this happen often too. Don't know what causes it (moon phases people, it just has to be ). If you can get past the point of her joining you, the rest of the mod is probably okay.

OK, thanks! I'm going to continue that game and see how it goes.

This time I ignored Shadowtechs Warning (2. Run Setup-BP-BGT-NEJ_PATCH313.exe BUT DONT INSTALL IT, just run it then select [N] for install.) and the install failed a predicted.
Then I installed BP-NeJ again and it seems to work now.
Hope I haven't corrupted anything...
