(Raze, if you can help with this one... thank you, thank you...)
This is, essentially, a continuation of my prior posts regarding installation problems.
I followed Raze's model regarding the appropriate folder layout in Explorer.
I re-unrared the root file from the Game disk to my "Run" folder, since I was missing the FMOD.DLL for lord knows what reason. Then, of course, it was there.
I ran Divine Divinity. This time I made it through the videos, unlike last time, and got to the game load screen. The sword filled about 30% up, and bang, quit to windows. Clearly, something somewhere is still wrong, or my corruptions (CRC errors) did not disappear as I had thought, though copying the files from my CD-ROM to the hard drive and unraring from there did not result in any CRC error messages.
So, any input?

P.S. This is quickly becoming the worst experience I have ever had with installation, and I am beginning to lose faith that the game will ever operate bug free, especially given other's comments. But I shall persevere a bit further. Strange that the patch worked so seemlessly. Usually the other way around.
