I have a similar problem installing EB except that I didn't go out and buy Rome Total War (gold edition) in the store. I purchased it through steam. I also had my computer reformatted in the past so all my files are on my D: Drive. RTW gold is installed as follows... < D drive, program files, steam, steammaps, common, Rome Total War Gold.> I installed everything except recruitment viewer into Rome total war gold folder and when i try to launch either EB singleplayer or Multiplayer i keep getting an application error that says "Failed to find Steam" I click okay and it opens up a window to http://store.steampowered.com/. I even tried going on steam to add a non steam game to the games list but it can't find it even when i try to manually browse through it. This was the second time that I uninstalled and reinstalled this mod. If anyone out there has any advice I would greatly appreciate your help.
