Installation trouble

[Guest M.E.]

Hello,

 

I hope this hasn't been asked before, but I have a particular error found during installation that is baffling me. (Which isn't too hard at all, you could say I'm technologically impared.)

 

So, well here it goes:

 

Error: [setup-~1.TP2] not found.

Make sure that you have unpacked the archive correctly and that you are not trying to run this file from inside an archive. [C:/PROGRA~1/BLACKI~1/BALDUR~2/SETUP-~1.exe] Using scripting style "BG"

 

As I have said, I am not very smart when it comes to techological things, so if anyone could offer me a possible solution to this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Thank you!

I suspect you are using Windows98... is that right?

I suspect you are using Windows98... is that right?

 

Thank you for such a quick reponse, but no, I have Windows Xp. Does that hurt or help my cause?

Hmmm... I am not sure.

 

C:/PROGRA~1/BLACKI~1/BALDUR~2/SETUP-~1.exe

 

all those tildes are showing old DOS naming formats. On XP, you should be getting the full filenames:

 

setup-bg1npc.tp2 (longer than 8 characters)

 

Can you check to make sure that when you click on the archive, you are pointing to your game install folder, like this:

 

c:\programs/black isle/baldursgatetutu/

 

or if on BGT,

 

c:\programs/black isle/BGII - SoA/

 

?

 

If you are installing it into your game directory, it should pick up the tp2.
