I remember not having trouble with that, but some old threads mentioned simmilar problems.

In some cases, the problem was due to trying to paste a QFG2 savefile instead of the exported character. In other cases, it was that the .sav file wasn't placed inside the game's folder. If you are using Windows 7, it might be a problem with file permissions. You could try to run the game as an administrator and test if that solves the problem.

My version of QfG4 has a QG4INST.EXE for changing the settings. I'm not sure if yours does, but if so, try using that instead of the INSTALL.BAT. Editing the RESOURCE.CFG file isn't a big deal either, though.

Generally, I'd recommend using the custom installers from the Sierra Help Pages and using those forums if you still need help. It would be more useful than asking here.
