Installed Tatu then tried to play via the Bioware created BG2 - Throne of Bhaal shortcut. Got the option to install it. Now, I know I can play via the BGMain.exe file, but I was wondering if I missed something in the readme, or whether this is unexpected behaviour?

(heh-heh-heh) Sounds like yer learning on the Tutu curve...
You didn't do multiple/copied installs, did you? Far as I know, that would be the only reason you'd need to run bgmain.exe instead of baldur.exe (like I do :))

Cam, I think he means he installed BG1 with Tatu.

Oh, and they are installed on the same partition, yes?
-
I installed BG1, then ToTSC then patched, the BD'd it. Then I installed SoA, then ToB, then patched then BD'd it. Then I installed a BG1 quest. Then I extracted and installed Tutu into my BG2 folder. Then I installed some Tutu mods and a few BAM changes for items and paper dolls and the new startup screens. It is at this point I tried loading BG2.
This is the only install of BG2 I have.
-
So, now that I know you've gotten it running, what was the problem?
-
That was simply a clarification of the first post. When I load BG2 using the generated shortcut, the launch screen comes up with the Installl, not play, option. I have to launch via BGMain.
-
And when you used BG2 before it worked properly via the launcher, I take it? Doesn't sound like anything involving the game is messed, if it still works, just that the registry has had some weirdness happen. I don't think Tutu does anything to that, though, so I have no idea what might've caused it.
-
Same happens with me - I just have my desktop shortcut point to BGMAIN.EXE.
-
I've had the same thing happen to an install of BG2 without any mods added.
-
PROBLEM SOLVED. Let's all blame Windows and/or BioWare, and call this case closed.

I never tried it with BG2ToB alone, since the install was solely for Tutu.
