EB data folder installations...

[Intranetusa]

When you install EB, is the eb folder itself the main folder? Or are you suppose to install that EB folder into your RTW folder?

EB is main folder: Only 1 EB folder, only 1 data folder (EB and RTW vanilla data folders are merged)

EB is installed into RTW folder: 1 EB folder, 2 data folders - 1 vanilla data folder and 1 EB data folder


btw, I'm not talking about playing EB & Vanilla multilayer at the same time.

EB is a sub-folder of the "Rome - Total War" folder. It is on the same directory level as the vanilla Data Folder.

^ For some reason, I ran the validation folder after I moved the CA folder out of Program Files (vista issue), I'm now missing like 5000 files

Perhaps the validator checks for EB installation folder as found in the registry (just a guess) ?

I am using Vista x64. I installed RTW on my second HDD. During installation I only substituted the drive drive letter C with D. RTW now resides in "D:\Program Files (x86)\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War". Before installing EB I copied the contents of this folder (and the subfolders) to "D:\Program Files (x86)\The Creative Assembly\EBV1". Then I installed EB to this folder. Everything is working as it should, so I never had to troubleshoot my installation.

I am using an administrator account and I have disabled UAC. Therefore I do not have any access privilege problems, that seem to be the cause for the Vista problems others have.

Nope. It could do that, but I couldn't be buggered to program it that way. It should be run from the RTW directory, which should contain the vanilla files and the EB folder.
