Re: getting started in eb
does it say "...rometw.exe..."? The RTW executable is called "rtw.exe" as far as I know. Might be different in the Gold Version though.

Re: getting started in eb
It would seem you installed EB to the wrong location. If you RTW is in you "D:" drive, that is where you need to put EB.
Re: getting started in eb
There is a bug in the created shortcut. See frequent issues.
Re: getting started in eb
thnks for your coments, i managed to get it installed and playing! i installed it into my users folder and it ran as sweet as a nut, the problem was i had a mod already on it, amazon mod. so had to uninstall and re-install! tho i have another problem, i cant save any progress i have made in the game... so it's pretty pointless playing it unless i want to start from the beginning every time, i do the 'show me how' at the advisor and still cant save, any ideas??? it is becoming too much of a hassle playing this mod i must add
Re: getting started in eb
What precisely happens when you choose to save the game? Please run a validation.

No. Where did you install RTW? Sounds like you either have no space left or no permission to write files there.
Run a validation, rather than asking for help everywhere other than here where it belongs.
Re: getting started in eb
rtw is installed in my users file, because you cannot install in program files and use the mod. i have 52g ree space in d: and 25g in c:is this enough space, i have no idea about permmision, i am the sole user of my pc
Re: getting started in eb
Then you have enough space, and it's probably a matter of having permission to write where the game tries to do so. I'm afraid I can't help you further with that part. At least not until you
RUN. A. VALIDATION.
Re: getting started in eb
bovi, i have ran a validation!!! still no joy but it doesnt matter now, i uninstalled the entire game so i could start from scratch... but now the origonal rtw wont install and cuts out half way thro the installment... i give up! im just gonna settle for mtw2 or cod4. cheers :dizzy2: :wall:
