That's a know issue...
Uninstall the game, clean the game folder, reinstall the game and patch it and then install the TDD first, then the Widescreen mod.
Or use the never more up to date TDD(might require the ToB) where the GUI mod is not tied to to primary install files, and if you want to, install the GUI mod before the Widescreen mod.
...And then install the Widescreen mod.

I tryed to instal " TDDv.1.14...and the program told me that need "BG2 Fixpack Core Fixes".
I downloaded - bg2_fixpack-v9.ehe from here: http://www.gibberlin...net/bg2fixpack/
and start to install it, the last modul (4th - [BETA Core Fixes]) give me an error

Because of this I was not able to install TDDv.1.14
Both suggestions didn't work... Some other suggestions?
By the way I'm with Win7...

The Core Fixes(component #0) and the Beta Core Fixes(component #3) are different thing... the Beta Core fixes need the BGII - ToB, so just install the BG2 Fixpack component 0 and TDD.
What comes to the TDD v1.03, it copies over the vanilla BGII's BGMain.exe so that it breaks the compatibility with Widescreen mod, as the .exe is not the original... the bigg would need to check that the TDD's patch doesn't brake anything, which is really idiotic to do to a mod that has a better version already available.

Hi dude! I instaled only "BG2 Fixpack component 0" and after this I tryed to instal TDDv.1.14 and happend this...

...the instalation is aborted again...Tough issue!

[Jarno Mikkola]

Ah, darn, it seems that that too requires the ToB, as the string 73245 is the "Play Shadows of Amn<TM> with the new area of Watcher's Keep Dungeon"... which is there in the SoA - ToB selection box.

[Viktor M.]

So what can I do? Install TOB in BG2 directory?

I did it! ))
1 - install BG2 SoA
2 - Patch it.
3 - install BG ToB
4 - install bg2_fixpack-v9
5 - Install BG 2 - The Darkest Day v.1.14
6 - install widescreen-v3.04
7 - install 2 - BP-BGT_Worldmap

For now everything looks good!
Thanks Dude - @Jarno Mikkola!

1-2-3... Did you patch the ToB with the (v2.5.)26498 patch, see the SoA patch is already included in the ToB, but the ToB needs to be patched with it's own patch.
Ah, you didn't say you had ToB.
