How do i install the patch???
I dl it and double clicked and it says this will use 35mb of storage space , ok i think and then nothing http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/frown.gif

I have mtw installed on my desktop as i had to install it on a different machine on my lan and then transfer the files across ( disks wouldnt work in my prefered machine either http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/frown.gif ). could this be it? an abnormal installed location??

please help http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

It should install to the path
you give it.
As far as I know if can install
the game to the desktop
then you can install the patch
there too.

You must however give the path
the installer.
I can only assume from the information
you have provided that the path
you want should be something
like this:
C\WINDOWS\Desktop\Total War.......

I don't understand the lan
copy thing you speak of
I don't understand why
you can not install the game
in program files neither.

Patch and Registry.
The Patch does NOT require a registry entry to install. If you do not get the option to browse for location you may need to download the patch again.

ive just turned of my comp and as it shut down about 10 boxes at the bottom flashed up and one asked me my language choice ( i assume this is the patch ) but then my computer shut down aaaargh http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/frown.gif i tried again and if i check PROCESSES in Ctrl Alt Del i get the patch up as a PROCESS not an application but i cant access it and the same thing happened again when i turned my comp off it flashed up briefly before switch off http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/frown.gif

Your not trying to install the patch on a pirated copy of MTW?
