Availability
Best version
The GOG.com version is pre-patched for modern systems and includes the expansion. Older versions, such as the original release, may have issues running on newer machines. Avoid the Dungeons & 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.
If you plan to install Baldur's Gate and use the BG1Tutu mod you should have no problems doing so. Please refer to the Baldur's Gate Combined Installation.

Modifications

Baldur's Gate Tutu
The 'Tutu' mod known as BG1Tutu allows the importing of Baldur's Gate files into the Baldur's Gate II engine. If using the mods Baldur's Gate Tutu or Baldur's Gate Trilogy please refer to the Baldur's Gate II system requirements.
Baldur's Gate II Fixpack
The BG2 Fixpack is a WeiDU compilation of fixes for Baldur's Gate II. Several modders began working on a new WeiDU fixpack to address the numerous bugs that have been identified.
