    I've tried several other things since I posted my thread, including uninstalls, reinstalls, messing with target paths for shortcuts. Nothing seems to work! Most recently I managed to install EB 1.1 into program files/activision/rome - total war, and going off of the start menu's 'programs list' (I use Windows XP) I found the Europa Barbarorum heading, and clicked 'Play'. Much to my dismay it only opened up Vanilla Rome: Total War. Finally I've buckled and have put a copy of Rome - Total War in a place *besides* program files, like suggested in the help threads, and I'll throw EB in there and see if it works.

    At any rate, I know my information probably isn't very good, and is spotty at best, but hopefully you can offer some sort of insight, or maybe simply create a short guide to installing 1.1 as opposed to 1.0...though I don't see why they'd be very different. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
    Yes, posting in the wrong place would be a mistake, but you haven't waited very long either.

    You've installed EB into an RTW installation under program files, which works well enough on XP. However, there is a bug in the installer that doesn't make a proper shortcut, so you need to either manually change the shortcut (to include -mod:eb) or install the trivial script and use that to run the game.

    Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

    I do NOT answer PM requests for help with EB. Ask in a new help thread in the tech help forum.
