Medieval 2 expansion problem

[blado]

I bought the expansion to medieval 2 for whenever europa barbarorum 2 comes out just to be prepared, but when it was updating to 1.03 it said

Invalid or missing target C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\packs\data_0.pack , I went into the folder and that file is there, so I don't know what is wrong.

Have you tried a clean reinstall?
Do you know something I don't by the way? I'm pretty sure EB2 is a long way off.

[blado]

I know but I want to be ready, and I want to play the expansion.

Honestly, I don't expect EB2 to come out in 2008.

But you should install M2TW to a folder outside of Program files.

[blado]

I know it won't be out for a long time, but I still wanted to just get the expansion to play it too. So if I take it out of program files it will work?

[bovi]

I don't know if that's all that's wrong. But installing inside Program files has caused all sorts of trouble for many here.

i had the same problem mate, i just had to uninstall medieval 2 and install a clean one - it was the earlier patches that were doing it i think, it works for me now
