I have the downloaded version. I did not download from steam but I do not know if that means it is not the same version or not. I have patched the game and I have UAC off.
disc shortcut asks for the disc.
steam shortcut gives me

"Brilliant badger, unfortunately a significant number of users get these errors. It is usually fixed by getting this file.
Extract it into M2TW\mods\EBII\data, where M2TW means the path where your Medieval 2 game is installed. Then try to run the game again.
If that didn't work, you can try once again. For a few people, it works the second time around.
-----------
If it still doesn't work, there is another thing you can try short of starting over and reinstalling the whole thing. You need java installed, and you need to have done the permissions step (found under "I have tried the files in the items above, and am still not getting the game to run.") first.
* Go to M2TW/documentation/tools, and open build_scripts.ini.
* Update it with the location where you have java installed.
* Go to M2TW/documentation/tools/cuf, and run build_strings_bin.wsf. It should run for at least 20 seconds.
Then try again. This step can also be repeated if necessary."
Whenever i run build_strings_bin it says -
Error: Java was not found on the 'PATH'
I tried this
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/path.xml
and still the same error occurs.
I re-installed and still get the same errors. If I can get the game to read the Java.exe I am still unsure if this will fix the txt problem.
What else can I do?
