Thank you for the help Foot, i believe thats the right one as its the default, i just dont know much about installing mods.

Oh sorry for posting one more time, but when i try to continue it says its invalid, so then i go to CA rtw file in program files, but says its not recommended, is it still ok to use program files tho, whats the risk?

If you are using XP it is fine, if you are using Vista then it is suggested that you never install any games in that folder as there are certain restrictions to file access and modification that may effect the stability of a game.

What do i do if i have vista then?

You will need to install Rome Total War in a folder other than program files. Then install EB to that same folder following the details I've mentioned above.

So i need to reinstall rtw 1.5 under a file other than program files, then give eb installation another try?

Yes, that's what he said.
(And 'program files' is a folder, not a file)
