Hi R'as

A query about the Installer.....

Clicking next will give you the message...

"target folder does not exist do you want to create one"

It is looking for the target...

C:\Programs\Medieval Total War...which will create a folder called Medieval Total War, sitting next to the Total War folder

I think the target should read...

C:\program files\total war\medieval total war depending on where your Total War folder is located (for example mine is in E:)

It looks as if you have missed out the ...\Total War\ part of it.

Or does it require players to use the Browse option for finding their own install path?

Please clarify

Well, you're right I missed out the \Total War\ part and yes it does require
the user to use the browse option ()
But,
please consider the following:
- I have always build all my installers to install into the main folder of the install that you use for the mod and always told people so
- How should I know where your and everybody's install is?
- How should the installer know without looking at the registry(and even then it can only see the vanilla install)
- most people use multiple copies like you and they even have other languages then English, many possible install paths.
- even in your case the proposed path C:\program files\total war\medieval total war would be wrong as it is somewhere on E: (mine is sth like U:\TotalWar\beta_5)

.......
no offense, I had a bad day and don't mean to be rude....
I hope this isn't causing any trouble for people, it would suck having to upload 200 MB again only because the given path isn't optimal.

Sorry you had a bad day and please don't mistake my post as criticism, it isn't.
I was simply pointing out that the target was wrong and would not work even if the game resided in the C drive.

C:\program files\total war\medieval total war depending on where your Total War folder is located

even in your case the proposed path C:\program files\total war\medieval total war would be wrong as it is somewhere on E:

I did say ...depending on where your install is located.

I actually took it as nitpicking.
No worries, maybe it's good that you've brought that up because I'm afraid this is going to be a recurring issue.

The installer we use doesn't find your Samurai Warlords install. The user has to provide the correct path using the browse option.

Hello,

Installers typically can't find the target.

It works for a proper vanilla install, as the install path is included in the registry.
So, it c/would work for say a mappack addon to the vanilla install.

Total conversions use a copy though.

I recently found paths to SamWars in the registry, but I don't think there's a reliable method for the installer to find that using keys.
