Where To Buy
Good Old Games provides a version called Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga. This is currently the best place to buy Baldur's Gate II, and comes with the Throne of Bhaal expansion pack.
Older versions, such as the original release, may have issues running on newer machines. Avoid the Dungeons and Dragons Classic Anthology, as it not only has issues installing on newer operating systems but also will not work with Baldur's Gate Tutu or Baldur's Gate Trilogy.
Good Old Games Installation Guide
The digital copy sold by GOG can be installed with any current operating system. Windows 7 is supported by the .exe file from GOG but it is possible to install to a Unix-like operating system using Wine. This will be the focus of this guide.
Windows
For Windows XP and beyond, installation should be as simple as running the .exe file downloaded from GOG. If you plan to install Baldur's Gate 1 and use the BG1Tutu Template:CitadelFile mod you should have no problems doing so.
GNU/Linux and Wine

- setup_baldurs_gate_2.exe file from GOG.com
- Wine 1.3
Installation
- Run from terminal:
$ wine ~/Downloads/setup_baldurs_gate_2.exe
- Follow on screen prompt
The path can be customized during installation but the default will be:
~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/GOG.com/Baldurs Gate II
Running
