What program do I use to merge Beamdog's BGEE and SOD together so I can use EET to install Trilogy?

It's telling me my SOD needs installed...it is installed, but it's in a separate folder. I just purchased all 3 packages via BeamDog, then copy pasted the installs from the downloader into my own folders (putting them on a flash drive ultimately) - THANK YOU for any guidance, I think once I know how to do this, I can use EET fine.

I think that @argent77 also made something that works (I seem to remember that it is better than modmerge in some way)

Thanks for this, but I didn't think I had to use this on the BEAMDOG installs, but I guess I do...however when I run DLC MERGER in my BGEE folder, it tells me no DLC is found and closes. I need to do something with DragonSpear apparently for it to find it and I don't know what that is. :-(

I think this is a misunderstanding. SoD is patched onto your BG:EE game if you install it. Meaning, the "SoD game" folder includes both SoD and BG:EE. This is what you need for EET.

Thanks! I didn't realize that, LOL

@subtledoctor Maybe that changed recently, but when I bought SoD from BeamDog and downloaded it via the BeamDog client, my existing BG:EE game was patched to SoD, the stand alone BG:EE no longer existent after the patch, I had to download it anew (to have a BG:EE without SoD for modding).

By default with the Beamdog client, SoD will be installed on top of BGEE. It will contain everything and you won't need modmerge.

After that, you can also manually install only BGEE (it will go in another directory). It's not really useful unless you want the blue interface or want to test mod installation with and without SOD.

Hey guys, was so excited to get EE MOD installing my mods...everything is updated to 2.5.17, but now it tells me:

ERROR: [EET/SOD_GUI/CH01AJON.MOS] -> [EET/SOD_GUI] Patching Failed (COPY) (Unix.Unix_error(20, "stat", "EET/temp/biff/mos1321.pvrz"))
ERROR: Unix.Unix_error(20, "stat", "EET/temp/biff/mos1321.pvrz")
Enhanced Edition Trilogy (Enhanced Edition Trilogy) was not installed due to errors.

Without this component the installation cannot be continued.

I've downloaded the latest and placed it in my downloads folder as per EE Mod's config...I'm trying to install 1.0 Release Candidate 11.3 of EET

What else can I do? This process has been a nightmare :-(

@cleverest You could post here so k4thos sees it faster.

Thanks but a reinstall may have worked...I'll post later, thank you again.
