Error when installing AI components?

FirkraagTheRed · March 9, 2015

I've been looking to up the ante for a solo sorcerer run in BG2 so I decided to download and tailor this mod to my needs. However, while downloading I was unable to install (mostly) AI components, which is the main reason I chose it. Here was what the command prompt had to say (skip to the end to see what was not installed):

Any help on fixing this would be appreciated as I love this game a ton and want to experience something different for my next playthrough. Thanks in advance for your time and help.

My best bet is missing write permissions on the directory you're installing the mod in (otherwise why would file creation fail?), but since I lack any Windows knowledge I won't be able to help no further (also there might not even be write permissions on Windows like there are on Unix-likes).

It's probably a result of the game being installed inside the Program Files directory. Windows interferes when users try to modify files there.

I recommend reinstalling the game and copying the clean install to a different location. Install all mods in the new location and start the game by running Baldur.exe there.

This should stop the interference from Windows and also prevent problems associated with Steam automatically updating the game when new patches are released.

So reinstall the game file elsewhere? Where is a location inaccessible to Program Files and Windows' greedy little fingers?

Edit: I've done some research and will try and put steam in my Games folder, which shouldn't be a child of the Program Files directory. I'll uninstall the entire mod (should I delete the files as well? Not sure I know which ones) and reinstall it from this new location and get back to you guys, thanks for the support.

Edit 2: still getting the same errors and I've tried completely uninstalling, deleting, and reinstalling the mod and its components. It's in a different directory as well (My Music under my user profile on my PC).
