I've experienced a very similar issue, though it was actually a mod installer for Civilization IV. Turned out to be a UAC issue. Running as Administrator may work.

It isn't everything as it's missing avatar fixes and WIP content, but it's a lot.
I've only started using it but so far as best I can tell it all worked as the installer claimed.
As for the Avatar fixes, I installed this pack, which again claims to have installed correctly.
I haven't tested extensively so I can't confirm everything is actually showing up though.

I installed the female dwarves mod, the paperdolls mod, the thieves galore mod and the avatar mod from 1pp (Along with the mods listed by the op) and I did not notice any problems.
The installing was problematic though because the mods seem to be using different versions of some software, first time I installed the widescreen mod first but then I couldn't install the (I think) female dwarves mod because it was an older version of than the widescreen mod.

If that's too zoomed out for you, go with 1280x800. I found even that a little small (on 1680x1050 monitor), but good enough.

A note to all those experimenting with mods:
Since I am planning to solo all the way through the game the way I did BG1&2, I installed the IWD "Level 40" mod to help absorb excess xp. However, be warned IT DOESN'T WORK. It screws up the spell progression table. My paladin reached level 7 and not only could he still not cast spells, but I was forced to uninstall and re-download the game to get rid of the faulty mod. Conclusion: DO NOT USE THE L40 MOD.

first, the lvl 40 mod was originally for BG 2, which means it probably takes the level progression from BG. That means paladins and rangers getting their first spell at level 8 IIRC, not 6 or 7.
second, you don't really need that mod considering that HoW includes a progression all the way to lvl 30, and in 2nd edition, there isn't much of a difference between lvl 30 and 40, especially for fighter types. I think the only thing you get from it is a bit more HP and slightly better saves (which should be maxed anyway by that time, especially solo).

I should note that in the confusion I ended up installing and running the Tweak mod before the Unfinished Business mod. There seem to be no ill effects, but I've only just created a party and not played any significant amount in the game yet.
I found that extracting it to a temp folder first produced the executeable, along with an error message saying the game .exe couldn't be found. But this let me copy the extracted "setup-G3DaleTweaks.exe" file into the proper game folder, and then run it manually. All seems to be working now!
Hope that helps someone! :)
