Which platform are you using? PC or mac.
If it is a mac there is a thread about this and other problems. http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/17717/tool-easy-mod-installer-for-os-x/p3
I also had some problems with the SCS on a mac. There is a backwards compatility problem with SCS. The good news is that it can be fixed by using a modified weidu. I got a lot of useful help to solve my problem. I would definately recommend trying asking for help there.
If it is on PC. Well, I don't own the BG:EE2 on PC, but I don't think the install procedure have changed since the before the enhanced editions. Installing mods is a breeze, because of all those wonderful install wizards. Just remember to copy your mod and installer into the content/resources folder where the override, portraits etc. is.
I hope it can help.
I've run the installers from the BG2:EE folder where chitin.key is located.
Thanks anyway for your help.
Has anybody out there successfully installed SCS onto BG2:EE (steam version)?
(I) making sure there is a copy of setup-stratagems.exe in your BG2 folder (copy weidu.exe to have that name if necessary)
(ii) clicking on it.
That'll give you the usual install, which can be a bit tedious on SCS given how long some components take to install but will work.
In this instance, I do have setup-stratagems, it's creating it correctly in the BG2EE folder (the folder with chitin.key), along with creating the stratagems and stratagems_external folders as well.
I'm having trouble once the installer actually runs - when it tries to install the Initialise component (after you select which components you want to install), which I think is core to the whole mod, it stuffs up. I get a few different errors, have you seen these before?
ERROR Installing [Initialise mod (all other components require this)], rolling back to previous state
ERROR: Cannot perform auto-update, going ahead anyway! Sys_error("setup-stratagems: No such file or directory")
ERROR: Sys_error("strategems_external/workspace/temp_file2: Invalid argument")
ERROR: Failure("unknown function: clone item")
I can email you the debug file if you PM me a suitable address - I cannot attach text files to this forum.
The error from running the exe:
ERROR Installing [Initialise mod (all other components require this>], rolling back to previous state
ERROR: Sys_error("stratagems_external/workspace/temp_file2: Invalid argument"_
Detailed error information can be found in the file SETUP-STRATAGEMS.DEBUG
This is on clean installs, as well as installs with mods. Any tips?
It looks like the installer has trouble installing onto steam folders that are not on your main HDD.
All of my steam games are downloaded into a folder on my F: drive (F:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\). I completely removed my BG2:EE install, and forced steam to install to C:\Games, and downloaded a fresh install. I then ran SCS v28, and it installed successfully without the folder errors i've been getting.
To replicate and prove this wasn't a coincidence, I forced steam to install onto my E: drive, and I got the same errors. It looks like I can't install SCS's initialise component to anything other than my C: drive.
I imagine my setup is pretty rare, but in the interest of preventing future frustration to others would it be possible for you to put a note (possibly under Known Issues if you're comfortable declaring it that) saying "You may experience difficulty installing to the steam version when your BG2:EE directory is not on your main drive (C:). If you encounter errors relating to "cannot find folders" when installing to the steam version, ensure you steam game file folders are set to install on C:."
I'll attempt to duplicate the issue on a mate's PC, he has a similiar setup to mine so I should be able to do so. You might get more queries along these lines - BG2:EE was recently on special during the christmas period on steam, and it had high sales.
Thanks heaps for taking the time to reply to me, again, I really love your mods. Keep up the great work. SCS makes the game a hundred times better.
And now - off to kick in Improved Irenicus's head!

ERROR: Unix.Unix_error(20, "stat", "stratagems_external/workspace/ssl_out/antimagicscript.baf")
is one example of an error.
Any help.
