Can't install anything

Basically whenever I try to put anything in, it gives me that. I posted on the BioWare forums, and was told to post here (more details at that link).

Apparently 'your platform detection blows'.

 

Thanks in advance, Marty.

Did you do a full install? The default is for the "recommended" install, but if you're going to apply mods to a game, you should always do the full install.

 

Because what I'm seeing is that you haven't got the movies installed anywhere.

I don't think I did a full install. I've got a folder in my BG install location called 'Movies', and it contains just MovieCD6.bif and Movies.bif. Why would I need the movies though?

 

Anyway, is there a way around this or do I need to reinstall?

[berelinde]

Because that's what the mod uses to detect for BG1. The movies are just a check to make sure other key files are in place, as well as the movies.

 

There really isn't a way around. You're going to have to reinstall.

Ok, did a full reinstall and it worked. Thanks.
