Hi,

1st off, kudos to all the people who've clearly put so much time and effort into all these mods; I had BG/TotsC/SOA on a Mac 1st time round (tardy release, and none of the big mods available). Since I've only had a Windoze machine for 12 mths, I'm just about to try extras for the 1st time - in the form of a BP full install.

And having installed SoA, ToB & the ToB patch, and verified that the game at least loads & starts happily, I seem to have managed to run BPv161G-AUTOINSTALL successfully thru to completion (tho haven't tried loading yet), and then when I run Setup-BP_s_and_h_Patch.exe (from the v4 download), after what appears to be an initial successful start I get: "Resource [FINBODH.CRE] not found in KEY file", and am then informed that the patch has been rolled back.

Any ideas anyone ? (I can email the debug {as requested by the installer} to Seanas if nesc., but didn't want to clutter such an obviousely august inbox if not nesc!) Is BP playable without the patch ?

Also, having completed BPv161G-AUTOINSTALL, my START menu now has shortcuts for ToB, TDD & SoS all pointing to different EXE targets - are they equivalent ? Do I Ignore TDD & SoS ? Why would they be needed ?

btw, only thing that might be slightly different about my installation is that my SoA folder is rooted to 'D:', rather than the usual 'C:'. Other than that, can't really see what I could be doing wrong ...

Many thanks for any potential help, Andy_mac.
