    you probably did what I did. instead of changing the install location to where CA installs RTW by default (programfiles) you installed it where EB has it on the default.

    on a related note, why does the installer say "WE DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU INSTALL IT TO THE PROGRAM FILES" or w/e... is that for vista?

    thanks guys, i'll try a re-install, thinking about it i think i tried to install the provincial campaign without sucess (didnt expect to work cos i was patched to 1.5) but i dont think i removed it. this might be why it said it couldnt find a valid version of RTW & i had to browse to what i thought was the right location.

    on the 'dont install to program files' i think i read just know (while skim readin) that this was to protect your p.c from unlicensed downloads or somethin, i'll try & post a quote / link

    if that does not work, try removing RTW and EB completely from ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS- this worked for me when i was having difficulty with the Will of the Basileus EB mod.

    thanks guys i might have to reload it all to be sure (but to be honest its been a while since i played RTW & i'm havin fun at mo...lol)

    celtic punk for your info - 1) Conform yourself to the security model: don't install softwar such as games in the C:\Program Files\ directory, or any of its subdirectories. The correct root folder for any softwar that wishes to use/store settings from/to a separate file always begins with the adress of your User Account. Therefore the left-most part of your install destination should then read "C:\Users\[Your Account Name]", with [Your Account Name] being the name of your account. So the path might look like.: "C:\Users\Admin" or "C:\Users\John Smith". Warning: this means that if you happen to have installed RTW inside the program folders (for instance you have applied the default suggestion its installer comes up with) you will have to either make a back up of this install inside your preferred subfolder at your account, or you will have to re-install RTW to this location.
