i Entire installation instructions for the Baldur's Gate Mega-Mod

Do NOT use the option “What should be done with all components that are ALREADY installed?”
with mods installed in two steps unless you want to completely remove the mod. You would not only
uninstall the recently installed components, but also those from potentially a much earlier point in the
install which could cause the installation to rebuild out of sequence.
This will not work with biffed files!
RE-INSTALLATION - The steps above repeat again. With mods with several components this time
you are asked “What should be done with all components that are ALREADY installed”? Now you
have the choice between [R]e-Install them, [U]ninstall them, [S]kip them, [A]sk about each one.
Types the according letter and press enter.
At a extensive installation this process can last several minutes!
Doing so will not work with biffed files!
