As for how you should know about the hyphens, I would presume you've come across this problem earlier with shortcuts using your space-infested folder names, or used any command line (DOS, Unix or whatever). Apparently not though.

Spaces, like non-US-ASCII characters, in folder names is asking for problems. At least the German version of Windows doesn't have spaces by default. Although perhaps it is just me having experience from the old days, where it led to all kinds of problems when I tried to use Norwegian characters.

The placement of games on the disk is I guess a matter of personal preference, but I prefer to not have them cluttering up the normal applications. Also having EB in Program Files is discouraged (by the installer, no less). Yes, it's Vista that has problems with it and you're probably doing alright if you have XP.
Done the same. Tried to start Baktria and Saka campaign, didn't work, got kicked back to the Single Player menu. Upon quitting the game I got this screen:



Then I copied the new map.rwm into sp game backup and started in normal Single Player mode. Tried to start Saka and Saba campaign and got kicked again. Quitted the game without failure screen.
