Problem installing Tactics4IWD2

    I could really use some help. I downloaded Tactics4IWD2 and the CoM store. When I double-clicked on the Tactics4IWD2 setup exe I got the following, instead of the normal setup screen:

    C:bad:Program Files\Black Isle\Icewind Dale II\Setup-Tactics4IWD2.exe
    {Setup-Comstore.exe} Queried (pid = 312) version = 198 query done.
    {Setup-IWD2-ammo-v1.exe} Queried (pid = 320) version = 198 query done.
    {Setup-IWD2-Ease.exe} Queried (pid = 328) version = 130 query done.
    {SETUP-IWD2-EASE.EXE.DEBUG} Queried (pid = -1)



    What did I do wrong? Could it be the infamous Vista OS (I have a new computer and this is the first mod I have tried to install since migrating to Vista)?

    Help, please.

    [​IMG] A bit of persistence would've saved you some embarassment here.

    This happens the first time that a bunch of WeiDU installers are in the same directory. It checks the versions of the WeiDU files.

    Technically, all WeiDU files are the same, except for the names and versions. This query simply copies the newest version many times, and renames them to replace the older Setup____.exe files.

    So the solution: Run it again:lol:

    p.s.: notice that the very old version of Ease-of-use isn't recognized. You'll need to manually replace it with the newest WeiDU, otherwise Ease-of-use won't work properly. I just noticed that this detail isn't in my install instructions:doh:. Time for an update maybe...

    I tried it many times and it still did not work. I ended up uninstalling everything and reinstalling, now it works fine. Thanks for the help.
