E. B. 1.1 problems installing or playing. help please.

**moriluk** · 04-19-2008, 15:52

I have vista & have turned off UAC

After installing when I go to play it I have seen 2 things

"E. B. Trivial Script Error

Execution of command 'RomeTW.exe-modieb -show_error' failed (error 2: the system cannot find the file specified.)"

and this

"EB TrivialScript Error

can't open file 'EB\preferences\preferences.txt' (error 3: the system cannot find the path specified.)"

I have obviously installed it wrong or in the wrong place. I have tried it a couple of different ways. Every way I try it when I select a place to put it, it warns:

"Destination Directory is not valid. Please choose folder where Rome Total War was installed. Do you want to proceed (click yes if you have expected this error)"

Any folder I choose gives me this message. The rtw file/folder/whatever is in programs. It tells you from the start not to put it in "program files".

I am not a pc wiz but I feel one should not need to be one to play this game. I had no problems installing and playing eb 1.0 and it is my favorite game of all time! I want to play eb 1.1. Can anybody help?

I am sorry if this has been explained. I looked in the 'how to install' page and thought i did what i was supposed to do. Like I said, I had no problems with 1.0.

I had the same problem. For one thing, try downloading 1.1 from a different site, because if it is the same problem as mine was you have a corrupt or incomplete download. And also, move your Rome: Total War folder out of program files and just into the C drive, then install EB in there. Hope this helps

moriluk you are installing EB in wrong folder.
Make sure you are installing it in folder that has Rome TW.exe file.

So if you have installed RTW in for example:

"C:\Rome Total War" then you can find Rome TW.exe in this directory "C:\Rome Total War\\Rome TW.exe" so when you install EB install it i n"C:\Rome Total War\"

Dont install it in "C:\EB" or "C"\Rome Total War\EB" it has to be "C:\Rome Total War"

What LB said --> I should've read post#1 better.

Sorry Tellos Athenaios. I know you are probably sick of questions that you answered in your FAQ's. I had already reinstalled RTW but not far enough back to be in just C:\

. So I thought no matter what I did, somehow RTW was always under Programs.
