I've just upgraded my computer to Windows 7, and thus have to put all my old games back. I've successfully reinstalled Neverwinter Nights 2 and the two expansions, and am now trying to reinstall Kaedrin's PrC Pack - but I'm having trouble. I've tried downloading it from the Neverwinter Nexus, and installed it as instructed, but all I got was what looked like a comparatively small document that doesn't change the game in any way. Can anyone help?
It's possible that it has something to do with the fact that I wasn't able to fully update it for some reason, possibly because wherever the built-in updater was supposed to go is no longer there. What can I do about this?
I tried the same last year without any luck. It may have something to do with the pack not working with the latest version of the game.
Where did you download from and what version did you try?
That would be the 1.42.1 version of Kaedryn's PrC hakpak. The final version iirc. I was hoping I could find you an older version to try (or that I still had one of the older ones), but I don't and everywhere seems to have the same version (the final one) mostly linking to the same site you downloaded from. You may have gotten a corrupted file, I'd try downloading it again or checking to see if your NWN 2 is the latest version. I don't have NWN 2 on my new PC (although I'm thinking I should install it now...). If I find a different version out there I'll post here or PM you. Good luck.
I had trouble with the site today as well btw...
It looks like according to the bottom post on this:
http://nwn2customcontent.wikidot.com/
He may have taken down functional public downloads of his content because a Persistent World server was stealing his material, in spite of clearly posted permissions requirements on the Nexus.
The same link has a contact button where you can find his email address, perhaps if you contact him he might send you a functional version (if of course the information is still valid and he is willing).

I'm aware of that issue. From what I can tell, what ticked him off was their specifically stealing his original stuff, and not his adaptations of pen-and-paper material. Given that that latter was what appealed to me, I don't understand why he doesn't just restrict his publications to pen-and-paper adaptations, since he does a good job with those, rather than closing the chocolate factory entirely, so to speak.

Ok, I downloaded the final version from here, but what I got was a "7z" file, and I'm not sure what to do with it, since it's not a .zip file like the older version was. How do I use a "7z" file in Windows 7? Is that even the proper question to ask?

You will need a program called 7-zip to unzip it. It's a free download.
Glad to hear you got it working. I've poked around a couple of times since I last posted and the final version was all I could find.
