I know the installer says that it's not recommended to install 1.1 here, but this is where I installed Rome Total War in the first place, and if i pick any other place to install it it says that it needs to be installed in the same folder as Rome!
Installing in Program files?

Don't worry yourself sir, I was in the same situation and went right ahead - everything's runing smoothly so far. (I'm using XP)

I read on the installer, and it said that if you're playing on an account (on your computer) that doesn't have administrator status, you may not be able to play EB if it's installed in the Program Files directory.
Unfortunately for me, that was only after I had already copied my intended Rome-folder out of there.

It is a Vista only, since only Vista enforces this (originally Linux, or so somebody wrote on these fora once) security model. XP, well, XP couldn't care less about such trivial matters.

This isn't a problem if you disable UAC. And it makes Vista much less annoying...
