I have the game installed separate but the downloader gives me an error about it being in program files which it isnt and then doesn't let me pick a folder. Any fixes?

Hello everybody. I am unable to continue supporting my own website to host this installer, and as you've probably gathered, I do not have time to actively update this installer. I have therefore decided to release my installer into the public domain, and I have moved the hosting to Sourceforge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/ebforbi/).

Now that I'm logged back on, let me try and address some of the questions posted above:
1) If you decline to install the .net framework, this installer will not work, and EB will not work.
2) Installing to program files for a game as old as RTW is not a good idea, as old games tend to want elevated permissions. As of windows Vista, any files written to program files without proper permissions get redirected to another directory, causing the game to no longer find them. That is why the installer will refuse to install to program files. However, you can install steam to an alternate directory to avoid this issue. On my windows 7 box I use C:\Games\Steam.
3) If you would like to use EB with BI with another mod, run my installer LAST, as it will try to weave in settings with any other modifications that may exist. Running it first will cause unpredictable weirdness to happen.

Of course this only comes into effect if you have UAC on I think, as I have no issues with games installed in program files that save in the install directory with windows 7. Including Total War.

Anyone still alive out there?

I've RTW and BI installed, both patched to 1.5 and 1.6. EB is 1.2. What if I install this?

Is there any patch that makes EB 1.3 availible for Barbarian Invasion, and not only -Alex?
