Problems installing Baldur's Gate 2 on Windows 7 64 bit

[Uru]

Yeah I can't find out an answer, sorry man. The only surefire advice I could give is to run a virtual machine of an older OS, but that's usually too much hassle for people.

I can do it, but it seems like its too much hassle for a game...

BG2 isn't just any game though!

BG2 isn't just any game though!

no, no its not.  Over on the Bioware help forums, it has gone deathly silent after the 8th person told me to try running it in compatibility mode -__________-

Got it figured out guys. I had to use the multi cd version for it to work, not the 4 disc BG 1 and 2 compilation.

You mean a completely different set of CDs?

I've been using the version I own which is Baldurs Gate II (on 4 CDs) + Throne of Baal (on 1 or 2 CDs [I forget]). What exactly did you use?

I was using this:

Used this and it worked:

Hmm, I'm using the one that worked for you.

Guess this doesn't solve my problems :(

I'm glad you got yours working though!

[Uru]

Try using the one I WAS using!

Haha, not a bad idea! We got some in stock where I work so I'll give it a look!
