Can you be more clear? Why doesn't the game work? Does it play vanilla? Or does it crash? Simply saying that the game isn't working provides no clues, and thus, no answer.

In addition to that, please be more patient. You waited half an hour, and "bumped" your thread. If no one online knows the answer, then they won't post here. Wait a while next time, okay?

You are trying to launch EB through the Alex.exe on Steam? I couldn't get it to work properly myself, kept getting that message. I thought up a workaround but it led to weird messed up gameplay in-game. In the end I just had to stick to playing through the RTW.exe.

There is the install guide, it has instruction for installing to Steam version. As for using Alex.exe with Steam, I don't believe it's possible, I may be wrong but I spent a long time trying to make it work. Try a clean installation as described in the link, don't try Alex.exe until you get it running on RTW.exe.

Ahh, Vista. You haven't installed in Program Files have you?

No, 1.6 should be fine, the problem may be if you have installed in Program Files with Vista. Totally uninstall everything and then carefully go through the install guide I posted above, paying special attention to the Vista and Steam sections.
