Having trouble with install

[Severus]

I have never done a mod before so I am somewhat illiterate about these things. I have the Rome total war vers. 1.5 on my computer(never did a mod before so it should be clean) and proceeded to DL this mod. I installed it, but when i try and open it using the shortcut provided i get a "missing shortcut" box. It asks me if i want to change the shortcut to the closest match, which is the vanilla Rome Total war. I don't see a way to open the mod version, did i install it wrong?

Try to change the target to ...\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -mod:eb

The ellipses is where all the rest of the stuff goes. The important part is the -mod:eb.

If you don't know how to access the target, right click on the shortcut given and go to properties.

The target is already correct. When shortcut is selected i get the following message:"The item 'RomeTW.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly." Is there another possible explanation? Thank you

[Korlon]

You installed the file to blahblahblah.../Rome - Total War correct? And not something like blahblahblah.../Rome - Total War/Data.

Well, check if RomeTW.exe exists in the /Rome - Total War folder.

[Severus]

RomeTW is in the Rome-Total War file.

Have you tried allowing it to change to the vanilla Rome - Total war one and then changing it to allow it play EB?
