I only have Ascension & Tweaks Anthology installed. I had installed Spell Revisions, but I uninstalled it to install Ascension first.

I searched around and couldn't find this specific issue. Thought it might be a file permission thing, but I changed the permissions on wheels.tp2 and that didn't help. Also tried removing all the WoP files and re-extracting them to the BG2EE install, but no luck.

Any help would be great - thanks!

I think that the best question to ask if there is any ETA for the new version, given that the current version is not advised to be played by DavidW himself.

Oh really - I didn't know that. Thanks!

Just chiming in to say I'm also getting the same error ! Hope to play with this some day :}

No ETA, sorry. Not imminent, though.

Hi there,

ERROR: Unix.Unix_error(20, "stat", "wheels.tp2/lib/resource/weidu_external_readme.txt")

It would seem that there is a typo in path: it should be "wheels/[...]" not "wheels.tp2/[...]". So, dirt fix but seem to work: copy the "weidu_external_readme.txt" file into a new directory tree as follow "wheels.tp2/lib/resource/" and re-launch setup-wheels.exe. If you're really lazy, simply copy "wheels" to "wheels.tp2".

Don't know if there is any side effect.

Wait, wha... wtf? G3 forum seem a little buggy. So, sorry for the message spam. If an admin see those messages, you can delete the excess messages (include this one).

Not more than 10% sure what I'm doing, but modifying wheels\sfo\install_sfo.tpa beginning from line 22 from

   ACTION_IF !VARIABLE_IS_SET mod_root BEGIN
      OUTER_SPRINT mod_root "%TP2_BASE_NAME%"
      ACTION_TO_LOWER mod_root
   END

into

   ACTION_IF !VARIABLE_IS_SET mod_root BEGIN
      OUTER_SPRINT mod_root "%MOD_FOLDER%"
      ACTION_TO_LOWER mod_root
   END

Solves the install issue. Not up to the content to see how messed up it might be, but hey, it installed.
