cant install EB

**JRG** · 03-28-2008, 16:40

i have windows vista and a clean version of RTW 1.5. i downloaded EB and saved it onto my desktop, and when i did i got an EB icon and a loading screen saying "extracting files from archive". however, the screen i go to next is not an installation screen but a screen to change the way games are saved, repair, or uninstall EB. when i tried changing the way games are saved, it supposedly did so and i went through the process but when i was finished i exited to the desktop and when i click on the EB icon again i got the same message of extracting files from archive and so on. when i hover my mouse over the EB icon it says that it contains the information to install EB but i actually have no way to install and/or play EB because when i clicked on the icon i just get that screen. i have tried several times since then to install the mod but it still doesnt work. how can i completely install EB on my computer?

Uninstall your previous installation of EB first. If that fails, use 7-zip to extract the files and create the shortcut manually.

i think that the problem is that it automatically installs EB for me but it does not locate RTW correctly so it wont work. how can i manually install the mod so i can actually install so it goes to the right location?

sorry to keep bothering but what is 7-zip? how do i use it?

Do you know how to use Winzip? Works just the same way. If not, Google knows both where to get it and how to use it.
