    enter to your program files folder (c:\program files)and look for the Activision or Creative assembly folder select it and cut it then create a new folder somewhere else (say C:\Games) and paste the Activision folder in it
    Sorry Lz3, but this is pointless as far as I can see, why do you suggest this? All it will do is cause problems for inexperienced computer users when they wonder why they can't uninstall/install the game.
    Just install Rome to C:\Games\ or where ever to begin with.
    Cheers

    err... emm yep

    I did this for a guy who already had installed EB in PF...(program files) ..

    but if you think so... you need to have EB installed in the same place than RTW and my guess would be that many have RTW in program files already
    Spoken languages:

    Mini-mod pack for EB 1.2 for Alexander and RTW
    (just download it and apply to get tons of changes!) last update: 18/12/08 here

    This is recommended to avoid problems in vista, so it is recommended that vista users reinstall RTW (or just copy/move their RTW folder to another folder outside of program files like c:\games\). This because of vista's UAC system which has a virtual program files folder where user changes go. It really just ends up causing problems, especially with the new trivial script.

    It really just ends up causing problems, especially with the new trivial script.
    It only causes problems if mod is installed in wrong place ( in Program Files folder ).
    UAC and full conversion mods just do not mix, RTW and UAC does not mix well to.
    UAC is not evil, its there to protect you.

    Edited: You can either turn off UAC and get back to XP days of total freedom and total lack of security or you can play along with UAC instead of fighting against it.

    EB team has made clear in the installer how EB should be properly install to avoid problems, just fallow this instructions and you will be fine.

    I disagree, if someone is not skilled enough to do that off their own back, as I mentioned I would imagine that for inexperienced users would just end up causing hassle later on when they wonder why they can't reinstall RTW or whatever, (unless you also want to put instructions for editing the registry as well :p).

    I would suggest the advice be given as install EB in your rome directory, if rome directory is located in program files under vista, uninstall and reinstall somewhere else.

    Thanks. I'm really hoping it will, as EB is lacking a manual, and due to the nature of it, it kinda needs one. I for one was baffled by the government system to begin with. Speaking of which, I need help writing asbout the Gov system. I've got the basics in, but I'm not quite sure of all the mechanics behind them. PM me if you can help.

    Just uploaded v0.0.3!

    Thanks everyone so much who has replied and said nice things about it so far!

    Remember though, this is a large project, and I need all the help I can get. I now need more arty-historical types for the formations/backgrounds respectively. I would like all factions covered and backgrounds done by v0.1, so I need help!
