So I tried installing it but it said there was a "Fatal error. Not a game directory"

Does anybody know the way around this?

    Make sure you extracted the mod and are running the exe from the actual game directory.

    For me (win 7) this was under:

    ProgramFiles(86)/Baldurs Gate II Enhanced Edition/data/00783

    I can't get Dungeon Be Gone installed... :(

    Game directory is C:\Games\Baldur's Gate II Enhanced Edition\Data\00783

    At least, I think it is... Any feedback on getting this awesome time-saver installed on Windows 7 is most welcome!

    Mine's in C:\Program Files (x86)\Beamdog\Games\00783 but I guess you just used a custom installation folder. What happens when you run the .exe?

    An error message "Fatal error. Not a game directory" displays in the installer popup.

    I tried pretty much any other Beamdog or BG folder I could find too, but the same error displays each time. If the answer is "run the exe in the correct folder" then I have to find that folder.. Thx for the feedback

    Nah I really doubt the .exe cares which installation folder you used as long as you put the .exe in that folder. My only theory is that you need to take ownership of the folder and all its subfolders if you haven't, but it's probably something nerdier than that. And I can't do nerdier than that so, sorry :)

    Success!

    With the exe in folder C:\Games\Baldur's Gate II Enhanced Edition\Data\00783, the mod installed.

    If anyone else has trouble installing the mod, and maybe used a different install path for the game?, try that folder.

    Thanks @enqenq
