Cannot Start EB [Archive]

I have finished installing EB, but whenever I try to run it, a message turns up telling me that I haven't put in the CD-ROM and tells me to restart the application after having put it in!
I thought that the game required no CD so why am I getting this message?

Need help!!!

The game DOES require the CD. Not for the mod itself, which ought to be run from your harddrive itself, but for the Rome-TW.exe, which does check for the presence of the CD.

I am not 100% certain, but it is possible it needs it to be the same station as you installed from.

Welcome to the forum and EB!

Be sure to read the EB-FAQ (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=84854) for your gameplay questions and this guide (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=80270) if you need help during the installation.

As d'Arthez already pointed out, EB will only run with a valid copy of RTW, no-CD-cracks are not welcome.
