Okay. First thank you for being so helpful and patient. Second I had two unsuccessful tries last night. I don't know what happened with the first one but the second one says: "The following mods could not be downloaded:" and lists a lot of mods that were not downloaded.
Near the bottom it says "The following mods could not be installed because of missing dependence:" then lists 4 mods Check the Bodies cutscene improvement IWD Item Pack Fix Candlekeep Chores Check the Bodies - Fast Forward
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated
What game are you installing, BG2EE or EET? I'm not the expert here, but I think the only usable CtB component for EE is the main one, at least it's all I have installed in EET. And I installed THAT mod manually since it was not supported yet by BWS. To install CtB you need to unpack the original mod - but NOT INSTALL IT. Then you need to extract a patch. Then you run the setup from that patch. See this http://gibberlings3.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=27741#entry240673 http://gibberlings3.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=27741&page=50
Thanks Paula! So I'm installing BGT, no enhanced edition. Although I may do that as well. For that I have BGEE and BG2EE from Steam. If I wanted to do EET I would have to install the file in a directory that's not /steamapps right?
I retried dling a lot of the mods and about 95% were dled, and the ones that didn't were minor ones so I'm not upset about that. I just let CtB go
Now on the BWInstall I'm running into a problem with Cespenar Audio Patch for Item upgrade and I can't seem to find it for a manual install
Now during the install in the DOS window It says that I have a version 14 of the Ajantis mod and the patch for this mod was made for version 13. What would you suggest as far as going ahead with the install for v14 with the v13 patch or looking for a v14 patch and running install again?

Got it. I had some problems with the Colours of infinity White Queen, Infinity animations, Ctb and others. For some reason when they were put into my BG2 directory not all of the files were extracted.

Such things sometimes come if you have some overly suspicious virus checker active or UAC control? BWS does no *selective* file extraction, it just starts the rar zip or whatever program that does it.
Installed but with some problems. First, the game isn't widescreen or doesn't fit the entire screen. Secondly when I click New Game to start a new game the scree gets jacked up and is sort of a double screen with the TDD interface in the top left corner then when I move the cursor it leaves the cursor tracks in the path I move it.
I can get into the character creation screen and create a new character but as soon as I click start I get a crash to desktop and the message: "An Assertion failed in CGameArea.cpp at the line number 5198 Programmer says Creature file not found DW#SKCAN".
Any ideas?
EDIT: Currently using mods that weren't dled list and making sure they were properly extracted.

I have suspicions but I cannot prove them. The BGT section of BWS is no longer properly maintained (nobody of those still using BGT seems to care for it). It may be that some of the big mods that were recently updated to support EE are not fully backwards compatible with the old game anymore. In the old days I would have suggested that you post your BiG World Debug.7z file to the BWS support forum at SHS - not sure however if there is still someone who can help.
Hello - I tried to do an EET install today...it appeared to work, but I see a file referenced 'setup-EET_end.exe'...this file didn't download to anywhere I can see. I did 'recommended' without SCS. Anything I can provide that would give a clue?
Edit: Think I lied. It's hung up on the process and it says "ERROR: Sys_error("cdtweaks/lib/eet_cpmvars.tpa: No such file or directory") as t's installing the Tweaks Directory.

Why, precisely, are you saying that UAC should be disabled for BigWorldSetup to work? The only reason I can think of is already covered by your "don't install the games inside one of the Program Files folders" requirement.
This is right for most private computers where you are your own administrator and maybe sole user. But UAC may be applied for other parts of a computer as well if so configured by an administrator (e.g. you use a company pc). If it's not for your case, just ignore it.
That makes no sense, though. If a user has the ability to disable UAC on their system, then they have the ability to run elevated applications. It's entirely possible to edit the VBScript file to check to see if elevation is necessary (based on file/folder permissions) and then request them for the actual executable if so, or even just request them by default if you don't want to go through the full process.
EDIT: Having gotten around to running BWS, I now see that it already does the latter. Which makes the "disable UAC" requirement even more confusing.
Why, precisely, are you saying that UAC should be disabled for BigWorldSetup to work? The only reason I can think of is already covered by your "don't install the games inside one of the Program Files folders" requirement.
Because of the BWFixpack, .vbs exeution, patch.exe utility, overwriting files and various NSIS operations. Tip: UAC is not security feature and doesn't prevent you from anything
A: Very little of that has anything to do with UAC, assuming that neither the BWS nor the EE are installed under Program Files. It might set off an antivirus alarm or two, but I'm not exactly a big fan of AV these days. Just look up anything Tavis Ormandy did for Project Zero if you need examples of why.
B: It prevents a lot more than you think. A lot of the process sandboxing in Windows 10 (for stuff like Edge/IE and the Universal Windows Apps) depends on having it functioning. I'll gladly concede that having it at the default notification level neuters a lot of its protective power for non-UWA software, but I'd recommend cranking the warning level all the way up to Vista-era levels rather than disabling it. It still won't be perfect, but you're at least forcing the malware writer to put effort in that they might not bother with when generic rundll32.exe abuse will work for 90% of the computers out there.

There was a lot of update work on both - BWS and Fixpack - today. You may be just unlucky with your download timing and by coincidence have versions that were not synchronised.
Hello all! I'm in need of some help to perform a EET installation.
I've managed to install BGT (after some tries) and now I'm struggling to install EET and so far without success, not even once.
After several Installation attempts the problem I've been having is that BWS hangs indefinitely. I've left BWS overnight for a couple of times only to find that no progress has been made. The hangs aren't always on the same stage of the installation. Sometimes its on "Performing Batch Commands" sometimes during Installation and so on.
The exact procedure I'm following after reading some guides is as follows:
[spoiler='Procedure'] Pre-installation: I - Turn off UAC; II - Disable Anti-virus and Windows Firewall.
1 - Install GOG's BGEE in C:\Users\...\GAMES\BGT\EET\Baldurs Gate - Enhanced Edition; 1a - Install GOG's SOD, automaticly installs to BGEE folder; 2 - Install GOG's BG2EE in C:\Users\...\GAMES\BGT\EET\Baldurs Gate II - Enhanced Edition; 3 - Run GOG Galaxy to perform updates; 3a - Close GOG Galaxy; 4 - RUN BGEE+SOD, select language, create character and quicksave on both BG and SOD; 5 - RUN BG2EE, select language, create character and quicksave on both BG2 and TOB; 6 - Unzip modmerge (GOG support) to BGEE root folder; 6a - Run modmerge as Administrator; 7 - Unzip latest BWS to C:\Users\...\GAMES\BGT\EET\BigWorldSetup-bigworldsetup-402bbbf50ec1 8 - RUN Start 'BiG World Setup - Update If Needed.vbs' 8a - Select language; 8b - Select installation: "Baldur's Gate II: EE / Enhanced Edition Trilogy"; 8c - Assign Game folder paths; 8d - Assign Download folder as C:\Users\GAMES\BGT\DOWNLOADS EE; 8e - Select BWS Recommended Selection (default, no mod modifications); 8f - Manually download all Mods as per required URL list; 8g - Test present mods. Some mod don't have the expected size; 8h - Download Logic is set to Report missing mods (default); Extraction-logic is set to Report Missing Mods; Installation-logic is set to Report failed Installation; 8i - Uncheck "Install Components in Batches"; 8j - Start Installation.

I don't know if the log files help but I'll attach them anyway.
Looking at your logfiles does not show anything unusual. The things that have been installed look fine. There is nothing that reveals any problems with your path, settings, download etc. Just that extreme slow progress you report. I see no source of the problem that has to do with game or BWS. Did you take a look at taskmanager to see what else may be running on your machine and maybe using all the resources you may need for the install?

Yes. Hey, you're good @PaulaMigrate! I figured that out and only had problems with 2 more mods that were not a big deal Time to go 'venturing! Thank you for all of your help!

To install CtB you need to unpack the original mod - but NOT INSTALL IT. Then you need to extract a patch. Then you run the setup from that patch.

I retried dling a lot of the mods and about 95% were dled, and the ones that didn't were minor ones so I'm not upset about that. I just let CtB go
Now on the BWInstall I'm running into a problem with Cespenar Audio Patch for Item upgrade and I can't seem to find it for a manual install
I can get into the character creation screen and create a new character but as soon as I click start I get a crash to desktop and the message: "An Assertion failed in CGameArea.cpp at the line number 5198 Programmer says Creature file not found DW#SKCAN".
Any ideas?
EDIT: Currently using mods that weren't dled list and making sure they were properly extracted.
The BGT section of BWS is no longer properly maintained (nobody of those still using BGT seems to care for it). It may be that some of the big mods that were recently updated to support EE are not fully backwards compatible with the old game anymore.
In the old days I would have suggested that you post your BiG World Debug.7z file to the BWS support forum at SHS - not sure however if there is still someone who can help.

You may also notice that there are new mods you never had in BGT.
Edit: Think I lied. It's hung up on the process and it says "ERROR: Sys_error("cdtweaks/lib/eet_cpmvars.tpa: No such file or directory") as t's installing the Tweaks Directory.
EET_end.exe is the final component that finishes an EET install if it has been successful.
EDIT: Having gotten around to running BWS, I now see that it already does the latter. Which makes the "disable UAC" requirement even more confusing. A: Very little of that has anything to do with UAC, assuming that neither the BWS nor the EE are installed under Program Files. It might set off an antivirus alarm or two, but I'm not exactly a big fan of AV these days. Just look up anything Tavis Ormandy did for Project Zero if you need examples of why.
B: It prevents a lot more than you think. A lot of the process sandboxing in Windows 10 (for stuff like Edge/IE and the Universal Windows Apps) depends on having it functioning. I'll gladly concede that having it at the default notification level neuters a lot of its protective power for non-UWA software, but I'd recommend cranking the warning level all the way up to Vista-era levels rather than disabling it. It still won't be perfect, but you're at least forcing the malware writer to put effort in that they might not bother with when generic rundll32.exe abuse will work for 90% of the computers out there.

Depending on where BWS comes up with the error you either (p)rovide the tool with that zip file or you need to unzip it to the game folder if the error comes in the following step.
There was a lot of update work on both - BWS and Fixpack - today. You may be just unlucky with your download timing and by coincidence have versions that were not synchronised.
I've managed to install BGT (after some tries) and now I'm struggling to install EET and so far without success, not even once.
After several Installation attempts the problem I've been having is that BWS hangs indefinitely. I've left BWS overnight for a couple of times only to find that no progress has been made. The hangs aren't always on the same stage of the installation. Sometimes its on "Performing Batch Commands" sometimes during Installation and so on.
The exact procedure I'm following after reading some guides is as follows:
[spoiler='Procedure']
Pre-installation:
I - Turn off UAC;
II - Disable Anti-virus and Windows Firewall.
1 - Install GOG's BGEE in C:\Users\...\GAMES\BGT\EET\Baldurs Gate - Enhanced Edition;
1a - Install GOG's SOD, automaticly installs to BGEE folder;
2 - Install GOG's BG2EE in C:\Users\...\GAMES\BGT\EET\Baldurs Gate II - Enhanced Edition;
3 - Run GOG Galaxy to perform updates;
3a - Close GOG Galaxy;
4 - RUN BGEE+SOD, select language, create character and quicksave on both BG and SOD;
5 - RUN BG2EE, select language, create character and quicksave on both BG2 and TOB;
6 - Unzip modmerge (GOG support) to BGEE root folder;
6a - Run modmerge as Administrator;
7 - Unzip latest BWS to C:\Users\...\GAMES\BGT\EET\BigWorldSetup-bigworldsetup-402bbbf50ec1
8 - RUN Start 'BiG World Setup - Update If Needed.vbs'
8a - Select language;
8b - Select installation: "Baldur's Gate II: EE / Enhanced Edition Trilogy";
8c - Assign Game folder paths;
8d - Assign Download folder as C:\Users\GAMES\BGT\DOWNLOADS EE;
8e - Select BWS Recommended Selection (default, no mod modifications);
8f - Manually download all Mods as per required URL list;
8g - Test present mods. Some mod don't have the expected size;
8h - Download Logic is set to Report missing mods (default); Extraction-logic is set to Report Missing Mods; Installation-logic is set to Report failed Installation;
8i - Uncheck "Install Components in Batches";
8j - Start Installation. [/spoiler]
Note: I'm running Windows 10 on my PC.
Here are some examples of the hungs. After each one of these BWS halts any progress.
I've reached this "hangpoint" 4 times:

I'll keep attempting the installation process as keeps giving different outputs. Maybe I'll get lucky. But a feel that I must be making a trivial mistake somewhere.
I'll really appreciate if someone has any ideas to help me out.
Thanks for the attention.
UPDATE:
I've reached a new furthest point in the installation process:

Left BWS overnight copying 1 file from Weapon Animation Tweaks and no further progress has been made.
I don't know if the log files help but I'll attach them anyway.
The "Baldur's Gate" folder you entered does not contain a full installation. The following files are missing:
data\Area000A.bif
data\Area000B.bif
data\Area000C.bif
data\Area000D.bif
data\Area000E.bif
data\Area000F.bif
data\Area000G.bif
And for BG2EE directory it says that the BG2 folder you entered is not a full install. At least the file CD5/25movies.bif is missing ... Please download and install the TOB-patch of Bioware, otehrwise you will encounter various already fixed errors
Should be known that these are Steam dled EE games. DS dlc downloaded and I ran modmerge. The directory I am using is C:/user/.../Games/EET. The EE games/files were copied and pasted from the steamapp directory.
Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
do you try to install BGT with the EE's? Change your selection to Enhanced Edition Trilogy.

Looks like you try to install the unpatched BGT version.
