Thread: EB 1.2 Failure at Startup
Interlocutor 22:16 06-18-2009
I'm an old EB player who wants to get back into EB after being away from it for a year or so.

I recently got a new Windows XP PC on which I had never before installed RTW or EB. Today I installed RTW, patched it to 1.5, and made a copy of the install.

I then downloaded EB 1.1 and the EB 1.2 patch, along with the EB 1.2 permanent fixes.

I installed EB 1.1 into my main RTW 1.5 folder (not the copy). I then installed the EB 1.2 patch to the same folder, and unzipped & put the 1.2 fixes in that same folder's EB/Data folder.

When I tried to run EB 1.2 from the start menu folder, I got the following error message:

"Problem with Shortcut: The item 'eb -show_err' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly.

Nearest match based on size, date, and type: C:\WINDOWS\Temp\mcafee_PckVJTGdNQki2Qs

Do you want to fix this shortcut to point to this target or do you just want to delete it?"

I un-installed EB and tried again, same result.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I loved earlier versions of EB, was hoping to get back into it.

Thanks in advance.
