Failure to install G3 BG2 tweak pack, Vista 32-bit

[neostalker]

I'm using Vista 32-bit, and have installed Baldur's Gate 2+ToB to the directory: D:/Games/Baldur's Gate 2 and patched them.

 

I have installed Ascension, Tactics and Valen mods upon this. Now, when I install the G3 Baldur's Gate 2 tweak pack, I get two typical Vista "password" prompts. Then I get a Windows NT-style "username and password" prompt. When I put in the name of my administrator account and its password, I get the message: "Windows cannot access D:/Games/Baldur's Gate 2/BG2_Tweaks-v6.exe".

 

How can I solve this? Is it a bug?

 

Thanks in advance

Ok, there is a file called bg2tweaks.debug. Find it, it is a text file, open it and post the contents here please. It tells us the error, so we can get it working for you.

 

Aha! It is the extractor not unpacking WeiDU.exe. Find setup-Ascension.exe and rename it setup-bg2tweaks.exe, and reinstall.

Hello again. :-P

 

Can't find any file called bg2tweaks.debug. Have used the search function on the whole computer.

 

So I should rename Ascension, but run the original bg2tweaks.exe? All it needs is the weidu-file from ascension?

 

Haven't got any "setup-bg2tweaks.exe" though, just "BG2_Tweaks-v6.exe"

[Icendoan]

Aha, go to your BG2 folder, and find setup-Ascension.exe

 

Rename THAT to setup-bg2tweaks.exe

 

Run it.

 

It should now work.

Thanks for your help up to this point.

Still doesn't work, though. I renamed ascension to "Setup-BG2_tweaks.exe" (that's what the installer says it cannot find in the BG2 directory), and ran the "BG2_Tweaks-v6.exe" file that I downloaded. But the installer still says it cannot find the previously mentioned file.

[Icendoan]

No, you only have to run the renamed setup-Ascension.exe, not the Bg2_Tweaks-v6.exe!

Okay, bit of a misunderstanding from my part.

It worked now! Thanks.

I'm having a similar problem, with the installer asking for a Username/password because it can't locate the resource.

 

Since I don't have Ascension downloaded or installed, I used the same process and looked at the BG2 Tweaks debug file and found

 

WeiDU v 20200 Log

 

C:\BG2\Setup-BG2_Tweaks.exe

{setup-1pp.exe} Queried (pid = 312) version = 20800

 

So using this process, I would rename the setup-1pp.exe file to setup-bg2tweaks.exe and my beloved BG2Tweakpack will install?

[Icendoan]

Yes, it should, but that is the WeiDU Auto-Updater, which should also update Setup-BG2_Tweaks.exe. You are pretty sure on the way you are currently doing things, however.

That didn't seem to work...

I renamed the setup-1pp application to setup-bg2tweaks.exe, ran it, and the DOS screen displayed this...

 

[C:\bg2\setup-bg2tweaks.exe] WeiDU version 20800

{setup-bg2tweaks.exe.debug} Queried (pid = -1)

 

and that's it. No more text or anything.

 

So I uninstalled all the 1pp components, closed all windows and tried running the bg2tweaks.exe again, and got the same results. Only now there's no bg2 tweaks debug file. I dunno.

[Icendoan]

Ok, go to http://WeiDU.org and download v20800, and then rename THAT to setup-BG2_Tweaks.exe (replacing the old file) and run it. It should update everything, if it doesn't break out of a loop, close it and rerun it. It should then work.

 

There is a sticky on this, I think...

WeiDU's site has the v208 (I'm assuming this is v20800). I downloaded and extracted it, but it has three applications inside; WeInstall, WeiDU and WeGUI. Do I install all three, or just the WeiDU one. And do I install it in my BG2 directory or in Program Files?

[Icendoan]

BG2 Directory. WeiGUI and WeInstall do nothing as far as I know, and I don't bother messing around with them. WeiDU.exe is all you need.
