When I start EB using the shortcut created by the installer I get this: Missing Filename DATA\models_building\spot_fx

I've downloaded the installer twice and still don't get the files in place. HTe test-proggie reports a SHITLOAD of missing files...

How I did it:

1. Uninstalled EVERYTHING!
2. Created a Backup
3. Patched the original to 1.3, then 1.5
4. Installed EB in my patched dir

All indications are that you installed EB somewhere other than your RTW directory. Check that you have both a Data folder, an EB folder and a RomeTW.exe file in the RTW folder, at the very least.

I have all those. There is also a Data folder in the EB folder. Is it supposed to be like that? And no that dir does not contain the missing file.

Yes. It should be like that. You should have something like \Rome - Total War\EB\Data. You should have the RomeTW.exe in your Rome - Total War folder.

And that's the way it is. My installer 768Mb large and I have no idea of where my files has gone :O

You didn't by any chance install EB inside Program Files?

No I did not. And I still stick around with good old XP Pro.

A good choice, yet it means I don't really have any good idea what has happened. Could you post your validation results here?
